Installing Hard Disk Drives
WARNING Always wear a wrist strap and use a static-dissipating work surface connected to the
chassis when handling components. Ensure the metal of the wrist strap contacts your
skin.
The flexible disk, CD-ROM, and optional disk do not have protective shields; they are
ESD sensitive. Caution must be taken when removing them to avoid electrical shock.
Install and remove connectors carefully, and avoid displacing any of the pins.
