5.1
Unpacking
5.1.1
Handling Precautions
WD products are designed to withstand normal handling during unpacking and
installation. Take care to avoid excessive mechanical shock or electrostatic discharge
(ESD), which can permanently damage the hard drive and void the warranty. Hard
drives are typically damaged because of ESD, rough handling, or shock and vibration.
To avoid ESD problems, wear a properly grounded wrist strap when handling the
hard drive. Articles of clothing generate static electricity. Do not allow clothing to
come in direct contact with the hard drive or circuit board components.
When the WD drive is not in its shipping container or installed in its proper host
enclosure, it must remain in the anti-static bag. To prevent damage, do not unpack
your WD drive until you are ready to install it.
5.1.2
Inspection of Shipping Container
Carefully examine the container for obvious shipping damage, such as: holes, signs of
crushing, or stains. Notify the carrier and your WD representative if you observe any
shipment damage. Always move the shipping container in the upright position
indicated by the arrows on the container.
5.1.3
Removal From Shipping Container
Remove the WD drive from the shipping container only for inspection or installation.
Carefully open the box. When removing the WD drive from the box, follow these
precautions:
n
Grasp the drive by the sides only; avoid touching the circuit board components.
n
Gently place the drive on its anti-static bag on a clean, level, grounded work area.
n
Do not stack drives or stand the WD drive on its edge.
Important:
If your system does not support hot plugging (see “Hot Plug Support” on page 21), it
must be turned off and unplugged before installing your hard drive.
CAUTION:
When removing the drive from the shipping container, be careful not to drop it.
Dropping the drive can severely damage the head disk assembly or printed circuit board.
