• Avoid contact between the drive, other equipment, and clothing. The
wrist strap only protects the equipment from ESD voltages on the
body; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.
• When the drive is not being used, keep it in its antistatic bag.
• Hold the drive by its edges only. Avoid touching any exposed parts
on the printed circuit board.
• Always place the drive on top of or inside the antistatic bag to reduce
the chance of ESD damage.
