Unpacking & Drive Handling
WD hard drives are precision
instruments and should be handled
with care during unpacking and
installation. Hard drives can be
damaged by rough handling, shock
and vibration, or electrostatic
discharge (ESD). Be aware of the
following precautions:
„ This product contains no user-
serviceable parts; refer servicing
to WD-authorized personnel only.
„ Do not unpack the dual drive until
you are ready to install it. The
dual drive is packaged in an anti-
static bag.
„ To avoid ESD problems, ground
yourself by touching the metal
chassis of the computer before
handling the dual drive. Articles
of clothing generate static
electricity. Do not allow clothing
to come in direct contact with the
dual drive or circuit board
components.
„ Handle the dual drive by its sides
only. Avoid touching the circuit
board components on the
bottom of the dual drive.
„ Do not drop, shake, or knock
down the dual drive.
„ Do not stack dual drives or stand
your dual drive on its edge.
„ Do not press on the top cover of
the dual drive.
