1.5 INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS

Be sure to read the following Installation Safety Instructions before proceeding on

to the actual installation steps. Damage could occur to your drive and disk if these

precautions are not followed. If for any reason you do not understand these

instructions, please contact a qualified computer technician to install or assist in

the installation.

Temperature Stabilization - Before removing the drive from its protective

plastic bag, ensure the drive has reached room temperature. This is accom-

plished by allowing the drive to sit in its protective plastic bag in the room envi-

ronment for at least one hour.

Shock - Dropping, jarring, or moving the drive while the disk is spinning can

cause catastrophic damage. The drive should be placed on a flat, horizontal sur-

face whenever an ORB disk is installed. The ORB disk should always be

removed from the drive before the ORB Drive is moved.

Power - Always power off your ORB Drive, computer system and any other

peripherals before physically connecting or disconnecting the ORB Drive.

If you are installing the ORB Drive on a PC, continue with Section 1.6.

If the installation is on a Mac, go to Section 1.8.
