Connecting the Drive
Note: For a single drive, WD recommends using the stands for vertical placement with the Power
button on top for easy access. For stacking multiple drives, use the feet for horizontal placement
Installing the Stands for Vertical Placement
1. Power off the external hard drive and disconnect all its cables.
2. Align the edge of a drive stand onto the side of the drive adjacent to the back (Figure 2).
3. Press the other edge of the stand toward the drive until the stand snaps firmly into place.
Note: Space the 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
1. Power off the external hard drive and disconnect all its cables.
2. Place the drive upside down on a clean and steady surface.
3. Using both hands, grasp the base of the stand and carefully bend the stand upward
until the stand snaps away from the side of the drive (Figure 2).
