Observe the following breather filter hole precautions to ensure full functionality and prevent possible damage 
to the drive.

This hole has two purposes:

• To allow condensation inside the hard disc to escape

• To allow air pressure inside the hard disc to equalize with ambient pressure

If this hole is covered, sealed, or penetrated by any object, drive reliability may be compromised and 
could lead to permanent damage. Covering or sealing this hole voids the warranty.

Do not cover, seal,

or put any object in

this hole.
