Hard drives are precision instruments that must be handled with care to prevent damage. It is
important to understand that drives are typically damaged due to electrostatic discharge (ESD), rough
handling, or shock and vibration. Refer to the WD Drive Handling Guide (part number 2579-001027)
for detailed instructions on all phases of drive handling.
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 drive is not in its shipping container or installed in its proper host enclosure, it must
remain in the antistatic bag. To prevent damage, do not unpack your 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 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.
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.
