Removable Drives Caring for Drives Drives are fragile notebook components that must be handled with care. The following cautions apply to all drives. Additional cautions are included with the procedures to which they apply. Ä CAUTION: To prevent loss of work or damage to the notebook or a drive: ■ Handle a drive carefully. Do not drop it. ■ When inserting a drive, use only enough pressure to seat the drive. Excessive force can damage drive connectors. ■ Do not spray a drive with a cleaner or other liquid or expose it to temperature extremes. ■ Do not remove the primary hard drive (the hard drive in the hard drive bay) except for repair or replacement. ■ To prevent electrostatic damage to the notebook or a drive: 1. Discharge yourself from static electricity before handling a drive by touching a grounded metal object, and 2. Avoid touching the connectors on a drive. For more information about preventing electrostatic damage, refer on this CD to Regulatory and Safety Notices. ■ Avoid exposing a hard drive to devices with a magnetic field, such as airport walk-through metal detectors and security wands. ■ If you mail a drive, ship it in packaging that protects it from shock, vibration, temperature, and humidity. Label the package "FRAGILE." ✎ Airport security devices that check carry-on luggage placed on a conveyor belt use x-rays instead of magnetism and will not damage a hard drive. 5-2 Hardware Guide

Caring for Drives
Drives are fragile notebook components that must be handled
with care. The following cautions apply to all drives. Additional
cautions are included with the procedures to which they apply.
Ä
CAUTION:
To prevent loss of work or damage to the notebook or a drive:
■
Handle a drive carefully. Do not drop it.
■
When inserting a drive, use only enough pressure to seat the
drive. Excessive force can damage drive connectors.
■
Do not spray a drive with a cleaner or other liquid or expose it to
temperature extremes.
■
Do not remove the primary hard drive (the hard drive in the
hard drive bay) except for repair or replacement.
■
To prevent electrostatic damage to the notebook or a drive:
1. Discharge yourself from static electricity before handling a
drive by touching a grounded metal object, and
2. Avoid touching the connectors on a drive. For more
information about preventing electrostatic damage, refer on
this CD to
Regulatory and Safety Notices.
■
Avoid exposing a hard drive to devices with a magnetic field,
such as airport walk-through metal detectors and
security wands.
■
If you mail a drive, ship it in packaging that protects it from
shock, vibration, temperature, and humidity. Label the package
“FRAGILE.”
✎
Airport security devices that check carry-on luggage placed on
a conveyor belt use x-rays instead of magnetism and will not
damage a hard drive.
