hard disk drives or hard disk drives from other companies.
Handling the drive
To protect the hard disk drive during installation, observe the following
precautions:
v Keep the drive in its static-protective bag until you are ready to install the
drive in your ThinkPad computer. If you must put the drive down, place the
static-protective bag on a flat, padded surface, and place the drive on the
bag with the component side facing up.
v Handle the drive with care. Dropping or jarring the drive can damage the
components inside the drive housing.
v Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity buildup.
v Do not subject the drive to physical shocks.
v Handle the drive by the edges.
v Do not touch any exposed components on the drive.
v Do not apply pressure to the cover of the drive.
Attention
The drive is very sensitive. Incorrect handling can cause damage and
permanent loss of data on the hard disk.
