The electrostatic fields due to these charges when brought in close proximity to susceptible circuit assemblies and components, can result in degraded reliability or immediate failure of the affected component or assembly. Use the antistatic pad as your work surface, and avoid installation in areas with staticinducing carpets. Systems that use "WC" drives probably do not require cover removal, as the drives are mounted in a module that slides into place and plugs in. Hawk 2XL Family Installation Guide, Rev.
