Save the shims! If you intend to transport the

It is possible that the drive modules may have

shifted during shipping. To ensure good connections between

the drives and their connectors, remove and reinstall each drive module
before powering on the enclosure.

When handling computer products, take care to

prevent components from being damaged by static electricity;

avoid working in carpeted areas. Handle hard drives only by their
