How To Open External HDD Case

Opening the enclosure will void your warranty. I wouldn’t recommend doing it.
Did the drive previously work on that same computer? New external drives may not be formatted. On a Windows machine, at least, the drive may not show in the normal places under those conditions.
If you have improperly removed the drive while it was still writing the MBR can get corrupted and the drive will not be readable. That doesn’t mean the drive is broken.
Try start button – right click computer – manage – disk management – (find the drive in the list) – delete – create – format.
Try to restart your Mac. Sometimes, if the USB disk fails to boot, the cause is macOS. Restart can fix the problem. Choose Apple menu > Restart. Or press and hold the power button, when the dialog box appears, click “Restart” or press R. Or check to see if your hard drive is optimized for mac — Apple (in the top toolbar menu) > About This Machine > Storage. See if the Fujitsu External Hard Drive is shown there.
