Warning!

 Drives should be handled carefully, especially when they’re 

transported. If you’re not careful with your drives, you may lose data 

as a result. Always handle storage devices with caution. Make sure 

that you’re properly grounded by wearing an anti-static strap when 

you install any computer component. If an anti-static strap isn’t 

available, touch a large, grounded metal surface for several seconds 

to discharge any built-up static electricity.

1.  Push in on the side of the 

Front button 

and lift the

away from the converter.

2.  Gently slide the SATA connector on the drive into the 

corresponding connector on the converter.

Note: 

The connector on your drive is keyed so that it only fits in the 

adapter one way.

3.  If necessary, repeat steps 1 and 2 to install a second drive.

4.  Push the

 Front door

 closed.

Install the converter in a computer

1.  Turn off the computer that you want to install the converter into.

slot and into the side of the converter.
