Handling, service & preservation
- Follow the model-family configuration guide and observe ESD precautions when handling the exposed PCB. For preservation, keep the original jumper position and label photographs with the drive.
- Before service, photograph the label, connectors, board markings, firmware/model identity, and installed carrier; note condition and any prior repair.
- Never open a hard disk outside a qualified clean environment. Mechanical shocks, contamination, and uncontrolled power cycling can worsen failure.
- For preservation, make independent verified copies and record checksums and read errors; SMART or self-test results are useful evidence but do not guarantee future reliability.
