Unpacking and Inspection

Although drives are inspected and carefully packaged at the factory, damage may

occur during shipping. Follow these steps while unpacking the drive.

•

Visually inspect the shipping containers and notify your carrier immediately of

any damage.

•

Place shipping containers on a flat, clean, stable surface; then carefully remove

and verify the contents against the packing list. If any parts are missing or the

equipment is damaged, notify your Seagate representative.

•

Always save the containers and packing materials for any future reshipment.

Installing an internal Scorpion 240

Internal drive installation involves three main steps:

1. Configuring the drive

2. Mounting the drive

3. Connecting the power and interface cables

Note: The Scorpion 240 is available with several different front bezel

configurations. The illustrations here show one possible configuration.

However, installation procedures are the same for all bezel configurations.
