1.3 General caution
!Do not apply force to the top cover (See figure below).
!Do not cover the breathing hole on the top cover (See figure below).
!Do not touch the interface connector pins or the surface of the printed circuit board.
!The drive can be damaged by shock or ESD (Electric Static Discharge). Any damages incurred to
the drive after removing it from the shipping package and the ESD protective bag are the responsi-
bility of the user
1.4 Drive handling precautions
Do not press on the drive cover during handling.
