Note: The drive stands and feet are provided for specific configurations and usage. For a single
external drive, WD recommends using the drive stands for vertical placement. For stacking
multiple drives, use the feet for horizontaplacement.

Installing the Drive Stands for Vertical Placement

disconnected.

Align the edge of a drive stand onto the side of the unit
adjacent to the UPC code label (Figure 1).
3.
Press the other edge of the drive stand towards the drive until
the stand snaps firmly into place.
Note: Be sure to space both drive stands approximately 3 - 4
inches apart and approximately 2 - 3 inches from the edge of
the drive for maximum balance and stability.
4.
Repeat this process for the other stand.

Removing the Stands

Make sure that the unit is powered off and cables are
disconnected.
2.

bend the stand upwards until the stand snaps away from the
side of the unit (Figure 2).

Repeat this process for the other stand.

Installing the Feet for Horizontal Placement

The back of the drive is keyed with a small crossbar at each
corner of the unit within the ventilation slots for feet placement.

Align the notch of the foot to the crossbar and insert one end of
the foot into the ventilation slot at a slight angle (Figure 3). The
feet are keyed to ensure proper insertion.
