INSTALLATION GUIDE

a) If securing the hard drive in a 3.5-inch drive bay,
Secure the Western Digital hard drive in an available drive bay (typically adjacent to the
floppy disk drive) using the four mounting screws provided. Mounting brackets are not
required.
NOTE: For proper grounding, be sure to use all four screws.
b) If securing the hard drive in a 5.25-inch drive bay,
You will first need to install 5.25-inch mounting hardware in order to properly mount
the hard drive. If you do not have mounting brackets contact your system manufacturer
or your local computer dealer or call Western Digital technical support.
