The default setting for WD SATA hard drives varies depending on the model. To determine the default setting for 
your drive, look at the drive label on the top of the drive.

DO NOT change the default setting if you intend to use the drive in a desktop computer.

Change the jumper settings ONLY if you intend to use the drive in an enterprise storage environment. For more 
information on these advanced settings, obtain the full version WD SATA Installation Guide at support.wdc.com.

SSC_DIS Mode (Default) — Enable or disable the spread spectrum clocking feature. Default setting is disabled.

OPT1 — Only for factory use.

OPT2 — Only for factory use.

1. Connect the smaller connector on the WD SATA cable to the SATA connector on the 

motherboard or SATA controller card.

NOTE: If using a SATA controller card, be sure to follow the instructions that came with the card 
to install SATA host drivers.

2. Attach the larger end of the WD SATA cable 

directly to the SATA interface on the back of the 
WD drive as shown above. SATA connectors are 
keyed to ensure proper insertion. Also attach the 
legacy 4-pin power connector.

3. Slide the hard drive into an available 3.5-inch drive 

bay and secure the drive with the four mounting screws 
(two on each side). For proper grounding, install the screws in the hole positions as shown.

4. Verify all cable connections. Replace and secure the system cover. Reconnect the power cord 

and power up the computer.

5. If your WD SATA drive came with a Data Lifeguard Tools

™

 CD, see “Set Up Your Hard Drive” on 

the reverse side of this poster to set up your new hard drive. If your hard drive kit did not 
include a Data Lifeguard Tools CD, see “Alternate Instructions for Installing a Drive” on the 
reverse side of this poster. 

 

To ensure the optimal settings for your drive configuration, WD recommends 
running the Installation Tutorial in the Windows version of Data Lifeguard Tools 
before hardware installation to generate your custom installation instructions. See 
“Data Lifeguard Tools” on the reverse side of this poster.

The WD SATA cable with SecureConnect

™

 does not 

supply power to the drive. When using the WD SATA 
cable, you must also attach the legacy ATA 4-pin 
power connector to the SATA drive. When using a 
standard SATA interface cable (not included) 
instead, DO NOT connect both the standard SATA 
cable (not included) and legacy ATA 4-pin power 
cable at the same time or the drive may malfunction.

WD hard drives are precision instruments and must be handled with 
care during unpacking and installation. Hard drives can be damaged 
by rough handling, shock and vibration, or electrostatic discharge 
(ESD). Be aware of the following precautions:

!

Do not unpack your hard drive until you are ready to install it. 
Your hard drive is packaged in an anti-static bag.

!

Handle the hard drive only by the sides. Avoid touching circuit 
board components on the bottom of the drive.

!

To avoid ESD problems, ground yourself by touching the metal 
chassis of the computer or by wearing a grounding strap before 
handling the hard drive. Articles of clothing generate static 
electricity. Do not allow clothing to come in direct contact with 
the hard drive or circuit board components.

!

Do not stack hard drives or stand your WD drive on its edge.

!

Do not drop, shake, or knock down the hard drive.

!

Save the original packaging materials and antistatic bag in case 
you need to return your hard drive. Your warranty will be void if 
your returned drive is shipped in anything other than the original 
packaging or WD-approved materials.

Standard configuration 1 (no jumper added - spread
spectrum clocking disabled).

Spread spectrum clocking enabled.

Standard configuration 2 (jumper across pins 1-2 - spread
spectrum clocking disabled).

Spread spectrum clocking enabled.

Note: WD SATA drives ship from the factory with either Default 1 or Default 2 (see below) set as the standard configuration.

The following operating systems are supported:

!

Windows

®

 XP

!

Windows 2000
