The hard drive requires no preventative maintenance and contains no user-serviceable parts. The
service and repair of 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 drive as this will void the warranty.
Do not lift a drive by the printed circuit board.
Avoid static discharge when handling a drive.
Avoid harsh shocks or vibrations.
Do not touch the components on the printed circuit board.
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.
