HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
The WD Enterprise hard drive is designed to withstand
normal handling during unpacking and installation. Care
must be taken to avoid excessive mechanical shock or
electrostatic discharge (ESD) that can permanently damage
the drive and void the warranty.
Be aware of the following precautions when unpacking and
installing the WD Enterprise drive:
• Do not unpack the hard drive until you are ready to
install it.
• Handle the drive by the sides only and avoid touching
the circuit board components and connectors.
• Do not attempt to remove the drive cover. Servicing
components in the sealed compartment requires special
cleanroom facilities. Failure to observe this restriction
will void the warranty.
• For additional handling information, refer to the
Western Digital 3.5-inch Drive Handling Guide
(document number SO999).
