No way to choose the option "Partition"

Hi Everybody,
I’ve just received a new My Book 3To and I’ve tried to make a partition for my Mac (I’ve installed OS X El Capitan 10.11.3 but I can’t do anything !
No way to choose the option “Partition” the only choices I had are to cancel all or to eject my drive !
Someone have tried with “El Capitan” ?
Thank you for your posts and help
Best regards

How are you trying to partition your unit? Did you click the hard drive’s capacity? Or did you select the hard drive’s name instead under Disk Utility?
