OWC Data Doubler

10. Use the original tape to secure the optical drive thermal sensor cable to the  

drive in the Data Doubler, as shown in the picture to the left. Also, remove the other  

piece of tape from the optical drive and use it to secure the optical drive flex cable,  

as shown in the picture to the right. The tape will lose some of its adhesive when you 

remove it from the optical drive, but it will be effective at holding down the cables.

11. Slide the optical drive carrier and 

Data Doubler assembly into the 

aluminum housing, as shown in  

the picture to the right.

12. Install the T6 screw that secures 

the optical drive carrier to 

the housing, as circled in the 

picture to the left.

13. Slide the hard drive into the  

housing, as shown in the picture  

to the right. There are two pegs  

on the hard drive that need to  

fit into corresponding grommets  

in the housing.

14. Slide the power supply into  

the housing, as shown in the  

picture at far right. Note that  

the power supply has two  

alignment pins, one at the top  

and one on the right. These  

pins will fit into their corresponding 

notches inside the housing. 

15. Rotate the power cord socket back to its  

original position. If you are having difficulty  

getting the power cord socket to align, 

it may help to plug in the power cord (make  

sure the other end is not plugged into an  

outlet) and use it to straighten out the socket.
