USER MANUAL
I received a banner warning message, e-mail alert, or pop-up screen indicating a failed volume.
Do the following:
1. Verify hard drive status in the Disk Manager icon. See “Disk Manager” on page
123. If the status of any drive is “Failed,” visit WD Technical Support at
and search the knowledge base article 2569 for detailed
instructions on obtaining a replacement drive.
2. If Disk Manager does not indicate that a hard drive has failed, power the device
off and on.
3. If the volume that failed is a new volume, try rebuilding the RAID array. See
“Manage RAID (My Book World Edition II)” on page 126 for details. If this does
not resolve the problem, visit WD Technical Support at
and
search for the knowledge base article 2569 for detailed instructions on obtaining
a replacement drive.
My router has failed or is not available. How do I access my data in the device?
Do the following:

I received the message “iTunes server cannot find the path to Shared Music.”
The iTunes server service requires the presence of the /Public/Shared Music share

You must recreate or rename the ‘/Public/Shared Music’ share if it has been deleted
or renamed.
I cannot start WD Discovery to access the configure feature.
