HANDLING AND INSTALLATION
4.1 Hard Drive Handling Precautions
• If the handling precautions are not followed, damage to the hard
drive may result whichmay void the warranty.
• During handling, NEVER drop, jar, or bump a drive. Handle the
drive by its sides and avoid touching the printed circuit board
assembly (PCBA).
• Hard drives are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage. Use
proper ESD practices by grounding yourself and the computer system
the hard drive will be installed in.
• Allow the hard drive to reach room temperature BEFORE installing
it in your computer system.
• NEVER switch DC power onto the drive by plugging an electrically
live DC source cable into the drive's connector. NEVER connect a
live connector to the hard drive's IDE interface connector.
• ELECTRICAL GROUNDING - For proper operation, the drive
must be securely fastened to a device bay that provides a suitable
electrical ground to the drive baseplate.
4.2 Electro-Static Discharge (ESD)
To better avoid problems associated with ESD, Maxtor advises that anyone handling
a disk drive use a wrist strap with an attached wire connected to an earth ground.
Failure to observe these precautions voids the product warranty.
To reduce the incidence of ESD-related problems, Maxtor recommends that any
electronics manufacturing plans include a comprehensive ESD program, the basic
elements and functions of which are outlined here:
