3-6 Removal and Replacement Preliminaries
3.3.4 Hard Drives
! Handle hard drives as delicate precision components, avoiding all physical shock
and vibration. This applies to failed drives as well as replacement spares.
!
Use only the packaging provided by Compaq for shipping.
! Do not remove hard drives from the shipping package for storage. Keep hard
drives in their protective packaging until they are actually mounted in the CPU.
! Avoid dropping drives from any height onto any surface.
3.3.5 Plastic Parts
Plastic parts can be damaged by the use of excessive force during disassembly and
reassembly. When handling the plastic parts, use care.
