Unbox the Western Digital Hard Drives

 
You have 3 Western Digital Black 2TB Performance Desktop Hard Disk Drives
 
 
 
Unbox them one at a time.
 
 
 
 
Wear your Anti-Static Wrist Strap before taking out the Hard Drives from the Anti-Static bag.
 
 
Top Face
 
This side faces up.
 
 
 
 
Bottom Face
 
 
Make a note of the 4 mounting holes on the bottom face.
 
Each hard drive has a 7-Pin SATA Data Port, and a 15-Pin SATA Power Port.
 
Do not touch these exposed pins!
 
 
 Here is the view of the SATA Power and DATA Ports from the Top face.
 
 
Label your 3 Hard Drives as:
 
HD1
 
HD2
 
HD3
 
 
Place the Label on the back.
 
This will help you identify the Hard Drives while connecting the SATA Power and Data Cables from the back.
 
 
Here is how your 3 unboxed and labeled Hard Drives should look like.
