Place the Drive on a sturdy, flat surface. Do not place the Drive on 
an unstable or makeshift base, such as a stack of books, that may 
be prone to collapse or toppling.
Choosing an orientation (vertical or horizontal)
Your Toshiba 3.5" External Hard Drive can be placed on your 
desktop in either the vertical or horizontal position. If you do not 
plan to stack on additional Toshiba 3.5" Drives, we recommend 
the vertical position, as this orientation takes up the minimum 
amount of desktop space. Also, the PushButton 
will be higher up, so there is less chance it will get 
obstructed by other items on your desk.
