Care of Hard Disk Drives

Care of Hard Disk Drives

Hard disk drives are delicate and are very sensitive to shocks or vibration.

When installing a hard disk accessory, be careful not to drop or knock the

drive. Any shock may damage the drive and prevent it from functioning

correctly.

Hard disk drives already installed in HP Vectra PCs are also sensitive to

shocks. If the PC’s system unit is knocked or dropped accidentally, this may

cause damage to installed hard disk drives.

Avoidstriking the

PC

Don’t move the PC

when powered on

Don’t knock the

hard disk during

installation
