Question

A technician is in the process of installing a new hard drive on a server but is called away to another task. The drive has been unpackaged and left on a desk. Which of the following should the technician perform before leaving?

Options

  • AAsk coworkers to make sure no one touches the hard drive.
  • BLeave the hard drive on the table; it will be okay while the other task is completed.
  • CPlace the hard drive in an antistatic bag and secure the area containing the hard drive.
  • DConnect an electrostatic discharge strap to the drive.

Explanation

The technician should place the hard drive in an antistatic bag and secure the area containing the hard drive before leaving. This will protect the hard drive from electrostatic discharge (ESD), dust, moisture, and physical damage. Asking coworkers to make sure no one touches the hard drive is not a reliable or secure way to prevent damage. Leaving the hard drive on the table exposes it to ESD and other environmental hazards. Connecting an electrostatic discharge strap to the drive is not enough to protect it from dust, moisture, and physical damage.
