The hard drive requires no preventative maintenance and contains no user-serviceable parts.
The service and repair of drives can only be performed at a WD Service Center. Please
contact your WD representative for warranty information and service/return procedures.
Observe the following precautions to prolong the life of the drive:

Do not attempt to open the sealed compartment of the drive as this will void the
warranty.

Do not lift a drive by the printed circuit board.

Avoid static discharge when handling a drive.

Avoid harsh shocks or vibrations.

Do not touch the components on the printed circuit board.

Observe the environmental limits specified for this product.

If it becomes necessary to move your computer system, turn off the power to
automatically unload the heads. This helps protect the media and the heads from
accidental damage due to vibration while moving or shipping.

To protect your data, back it up regularly. WD assumes no responsibility for loss of data.
For information about back-up and restore procedures, consult your operating system
manual. There are also a number of utility programs available that you can use to back up
your data.
