The hard drive requires no preventative maintenance and contains no user-serviceable parts. The service and
repair of WD 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 WD drive as this will void the warranty.
Do not lift a WD drive by the printed circuit board.
Avoid static discharge when handling a WD drive.
Avoid harsh shocks or vibrations.
Do not touch the components on the printed circuit board.
Do not obstruct or cover any holes on the drive’s cover. Air must be able to pass through these holes to the
external air filter for normal operation of the drive.
Observe the environmental limits specified for this product.
If it becomes necessary to move your computer system, turn off the power to automatically park the heads.
Parking the heads moves them to a safe, non-data landing zone and locks them into place. 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.
