2. Before you begin
Precautions
!Caution. Observe the following precautions to avoid
electrostatic damage to your internal autoloader.
• Do not remove the drive from the antistatic bag until you
are ready to install it.
• Before you remove the drive from the antistatic bag,
touch a grounded metal surface to discharge any static
electricity buildup from your body.
• Hold the drive only by its edges and avoid direct contact
with any electronic components.
• If you need to put down the drive, lay it on top of the
antistatic bag or place it inside the bag.
