Handling drives Observe these precautions when handling drives: ● Before removing or installing a drive, shut down the tablet. If you are unsure whether the tablet is off, in the Sleep state, or in Hibernation, turn the tablet on, and then shut it down. ● Before handling a drive, discharge static electricity by touching a grounded surface. ● Do not touch the connector pins on a removable drive or on the tablet. ● Do not use excessive force when inserting a drive into a drive bay. ● If a drive must be mailed, place the drive in a bubble-pack mailer or other suitable protective packaging and label the package "FRAGILE." ● Avoid exposing a drive to magnetic fields. Security devices with magnetic fields include airport walk-through devices and security wands.
