Chapter 1 Prepare Drive for Installation Unpack the Drive CAUTION Shock: Hard disk drives are very susceptible to mechanical shock and can be damaged by a drop as short as one-quarter of an inch. Take care when unpacking and handling the disk drive. If the drop would crack an egg, it will damage the drive. Static: Protect the hard disk drive from static electricity by leaving it in its anti-static bag until you are ready to install it. Use an antistatic wrist strap and a grounding mat (3M® 8501/8502/8505 or equivalent). If an antistatic work area is not available, touch any unpainted metal surface to discharge static electricity before handling the drive. When you remove the hard disk drive from the anti-static bag, handle it only by the frame. Do not touch the electrical components. Place the drive on the anti-static bag whenever you set it down. After gathering the information and tools: • Remove the drive from the packaging. Step 2: Determine the Drive Type The type of the drive varies and drives with the same part number may be of different types. • Match the drive you unpacked with the type of drive shown in Figure 1-1. 3
