USER MANUAL
REPLACING A DRIVE – 24
Removing and Replacing the Drive
Your My Book Pro device is a limited user-serviceable device. You can easily replace the
hard drives inside the enclosure.
Important: Only use WD Black™ hard drives to replace the drives in your My Book Pro
device enclosure. Also, replacement drives must be new, and the same capacity as the
drive that failed. The RAID configurations require both drives to be the same capacity.
Using any other hard drive or capacity voids the warranty for your My Book Pro device.
After receiving the replacement drive, replace the failed drive as follows:
1. If the device is still operational, safely dismount the drives from your computer.
2. Important: To avoid electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, ground yourself by
touching a grounded metal object before handling the device.
3. If your device has been reconfigured to RAID 1 (Mirrored) mode, you can “hot-swap”
the drives without powering down and disconnecting the device. In this case skip to
Step 4.
If your device is in the original/default RAID 0 (Striped) mode, or has been
reconfigured as Individual Drives (JBOD) mode:
a. Disconnect any USB cables from the hub connectors on the front of the device
enclosure.
b. Disconnect the interface cables from the interface ports on the back of the device
enclosure.
c. Disconnect the AC adapter cable from the power connector.
d. Place the device on a clean and stable surface.
4. Lift the latch and lower the door for the failed drive:
