Handling a hard disk drive
• Do not drop the drive or subject it to physical shocks. Put the drive on a material,
such as soft cloth, that absorbs the physical shock.
• Do not apply pressure to the cover of the drive.
• Do not touch the connector.
The hard disk drive is very sensitive. Incorrect handling may cause damage
and permanent loss of data on it. Before removing the hard disk drive, make
a backup copy of all the information on it, and then turn the computer off.
Never remove the drive while the system is operating, in sleep mode.
