Installation

WARNING: Hard drives require careful handling, especially when being transported. If

you are not careful with your hard disk, lost data may result. Always handle your hard

drive and storage device with caution.

WARNING: Hard drives, like all computer equipment can also be severely damaged

by static electricity. Be sure that you are properly grounded before opening your

computer case or touching any components. StarTech.com recommends that you

wear an anti-static strap when installing any computer equipment. If an antistatic strap

is unavailable, discharge yourself of any static electricity build-up by touching a large

grounded metal surface (such as the computer case) for several seconds.

WARNING: Do not disconnect any cables or power sources while the hard drive is

active. This can result in data loss and possible damage to the hard drive.
