3.5" and 5.25" IDE/ATA/ATAPI Drives
1. Set the drive to
‘Master’ or ‘Single Drive’
mode by placing one
or more jumper blocks
on different pins at
the rear of the drive.
Jumper settings vary
by manufacturer and
often are displayed
on the drive label or
on the manufacturer’s
web site.
2. Use the 4-pin power cable (item E) to connect the drive and the
power converter (item C), then connect the converter to the
power supply (item B).
3. Connect the drive to the 40-pin ATA connector on the Universal
Drive Adapter (item A). This connector is keyed to prevent
devices from being plugged in upside-down. If you have trouble
connecting your drive, make sure it is oriented correctly.
4. Plug the power cord into the power supply (item B), and then
connect the power supply to an AC outlet.
5. Connect the captive USB 3.1 Gen 1 cable on the Universal Drive
Adapter (item A) to any USB Standard-A port on your computer.
Allow up to 30 seconds for your drive to mount as an external
USB device.
SATA Drives
1. Use the SATA power cable (item D) to connect the drive to the
power converter (item C), then connect the converter to the
power supply (item B).
2. Use the SATA data cable (item F) to connect the drive to the
Universal Drive Adapter (item A). The plugs on the cable
are keyed so that they can be connected using only one
orientation. If either plug does not fit on first attempt, make sure
the key matches the connector on the device(s).
3. Connect the captive USB 3.1 Gen 1 cable on the Universal Drive
Adapter (item A) to any USB Standard-A port on your computer
using the captive cable. Allow up to 30 seconds for your drive to
mount as an external USB device.

2.5" IDE/ATA Drives
1. Connect your drive to the 44-pin ATA connector on the
Universal Drive Adapter (item A). Note that the connector is
keyed; if you have trouble connecting your drive, check to make
sure it is oriented correctly.
2. Connect the captive USB 3.1 Gen 1 cable on the Universal Drive
Adapter to any USB Standard-A port on your computer. Allow
up to 30 seconds for your drive to mount as an external USB
device.
NOTE:
2.5 inch IDE/ATA drives connected to the Universal Drive
Adapter receive power through the USB cable. If your drive is
not receiving enough power, try connecting the Universal Drive
Adapter to a different USB port on your computer.
Troubleshooting
Begin troubleshooting by verifying that the drive is receiving power.
For the configurations that use the power supply, make sure it is
connected to a power source. If the power supply is connected
to a power strip, make sure that the power switch on the strip is
powered on. Next verify that both ends of all necessary cables are
properly connected as shown in this guide.
If the Universal Drive Adapter is still not working properly, try
connecting to a different USB port on your computer. You can
also connect to a different computer. If problems persist, contact
