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 drive from the shipping container only for inspection or installation. Carefully open the
box. When removing the drive from the box, follow these precautions:
Grasp the drive by the sides only; avoid touching the circuit board components.
Gently place the drive on its antistatic bag on a clean, level, grounded work area.
Do not stack drives or stand the drive on its edge.
5.1.4
Removal From Static Shielding Bag
Before removing the drive from its static shielding bag:
Make sure that your work station is properly grounded.
Wear a properly grounded wrist strap with good skin contact.
Avoid contact with any component on the printed circuit board.
Figure 5-2. Hard Drive Removal From Static Shielding Bag
After attaching your wrist strap, gently remove the drive from the static shielding bag.
Handle the drive by the sides only; avoid touching the printed circuit board.
Handle the drive with the printed circuit board facing downward during installation.
The unit should not be moved during drive activity.
The unit is not intended as a portable device.
Do not attempt to open the drive and service it yourself. Removing the cover may expose you to
harmful electrical voltages and will void the warranty.
To allow ventilation, do not block the air slots on the underside and rear of the enclosure.
Do not remove the tape seal or any labels from the drive; this will void the warranty.
5.1.5
Moving Precautions
If you need to move your computer, turn off the power to automatically park the heads. Parking moves
the heads to a safe, non-data landing zone where they lock into place. This helps protect the media and
the heads from accidental damage due to vibration, moving, or shipping.
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.
