This section explains how to connect a REDMAG 1.8" SSD to your computer using the following RED STA-
TIONs:
RED STATION REDMAG 1.8"
RED STATION REDMAG 1.8" (MINI)–ESATA

SET UP RED STATIONS WITH RED STATION BASE
NOTE:
The RED STATION BASE provides power to up to three (3) RED STATIONs (excluding the

COUPLER (2") that’s included with the RED STATION BASE.
1. Place RED STATION BASE on a firm, flat surface.
2. Place up to three (3) of the following RED STATIONs on top of the RED STATION BASE, aligning the four
(4) bottom pegs with the four (4) rubber pads on top of the RED STATION BASE:
‒
RED STATION REDMAG 1.8"

RED STATION REDMAG 2.5"
3. Firmly press down on each RED STATION to insert the pegs into the rubber pads, creating one stacked unit.
4. Plug the RED STATION DC POWER COUPLER (2") into the
POWER
connector on the RED STATION BASE
and one
POWER
connector of the RED STATION directly on top of the RED STATION BASE.
5. Use RED STATION DC POWER COUPLERs (2") to daisy-chain any remaining RED STATIONs by plugging
the cables into one
POWER
connector on each RED STATION.
6. Connect the RED STATIONs to a computer using one of the following data connectors:
