Unpacking & Drive Handling
WD dual drives are precision instruments and should be handled with care during
unpacking and installation. Dual 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 hard drives or stand your WD dual drive on its edge.
