Replacing a Drive
My Book Studio Edition II is a limited user-serviceable product which allows for
servicing of one or both internal hard drives in the enclosure.
In the event a fault occurs and you would like to service the device yourself, visit WD
Technical Support at support.wdc.com and search the knowledge base article 1709
for detailed instructions on obtaining a replacement drive. When contacting Technical
Support, have the following items ready: My Book serial number, date of purchase,
and the serial number of the internal hard drive(s) which require replacement. Once
you have received the replacement drive(s), follow the steps below to service My
Book.
Before getting started, power off the unit and disconnect all of its cables.
1. Place the unit on a clean and stable surface.
2. Using your thumb, firmly push down on the top front panel of the unit to release
the latch and open the cover.

GP hard drive assemblies can be inserted into the
My Book Studio Edition II enclosure.

of the computer before handling the device. Because articles of clothing generate
static electricity, do not allow clothing to come in direct contact with the hard drive
or circuit board components.
