make sure the connections are working properly. Then, download and run the quick setup

installer, available at http://www.wd.com/setup/wdmycloud.

Note: For information about safely shutting down and disconnecting the device,

Physically Connecting the Device

Note: Remove the sticker from the back of the unit prior to connecting your

device.

Follow the steps below to connect the WD My Cloud Personal Cloud Storage device to a

Important: To avoid overheating, make sure the device is upright as shown in

the illustration above and nothing is blocking or covering the slots

and openings on the top and bottom of the device. In the event of

overheating, the device will perform a safe shutdown, interrupting

all processes currently being performed. If this occurs, data may

be lost.
