ADDITIONAL NOTES OF CAUTION: • Install SATA port startup software before using the device. • If the inserted hard drive has application software, always turn the computer off before inserting/ejecting the hard drive. • Do not eject the hard drive while it is running, as damage to the drive or data loss could result. • When removing the hard drive from the drive rack, be careful that the bottom of the hard drive does not touch the metal housing inside the SATA drive rack. • The hard drive can heat up to as much as 50˚C (122˚F); though not hot enough to burn, the hard drive should still be held only on its edges. Avoid contact with the printed circuit board. • Don’t place foreign objects inside the drive rack. • Always keep the front panel door closed to prevent damage and dust accumulation. • The hard drive is a precision device: Handle with care.
