Installation of the hard disk with a typical computer system:
1. Switch off your computer’s power supply and disconnect the
power cord from the outlet.
2. Open the housing of your computer. Depending on your PC, the
opening method of the PC housing and the installation place of
the hard disk may vary. If you need help, please refer to the
manual of the manufacturer of your PC.
3. Put the hard disk into a free hard disk duct and attach the hard
disk using the screws provided.
4. Connect one end of the S-ATA data cable with the mainboard
and the other end with the hard disk. Please note that the
product does not come with a S-ATA data cable. Now, please
plug a free electric cable into the relevant socket on the S-ATA
hard disk. Please note: the cables fit with one end only.
5. Please make sure that all connection cables are properly
plugged in before you restart your computer.
6. Now, start your computer as usual.
Note:
Never put any plugs into any sockets of your hard disk by use of
force. Plug in the plug evenly until it fits properly.
Bios Settings:
Normally, your computer detects the S-ATA hard disk automatically. If
not, please install the hard disk according to the installation instructions of
the manufacturer of the mainboard.
Partitioning and formatting the hard disk:
Now, your new hard disk must be initialized and partitioned before you
can make use of it. With Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7 your system
will detect the hard disk automatically.
Using the Windows disk management tool you can format and partition
your disk. For more information please refer to manual of the OS installed
or the user manual of your PC system.
