WARNING:
Hard drives require careful handling, especially when being transported.
If you are not careful with your hard disk, lost data may result. Always handle storage
devices with caution.
Hardware Installation
1. Connect the external power adapter from the hard drive dock to a power outlet.
2. Insert a 2.5” or 3.5” hard drive into the top loading slot. Make sure that the
connectors on the hard drive are facing the same corner of the slot that has a cutout
in the door. The label on the hard drive should face the front of the hard drive dock.
3. Connect the included USB cable from the hard drive dock to an available USB port
on the computer system. The computer can be on or off.
NOTE:
A USB 2.0 A-B cable could also be used on the hard drive dock but will be
restricted to USB 2.0 speeds.
4. Press the power button on the top of the hard drive dock. The Power LED under the
power button should light up.
5. To remove the hard drive, make sure it is currently not being accessed by the
computer then unmount or uninstall the disk drive from the operating system (see
documentation for your operating system). Press the power button to turn off
the hard drive dock and wait for the drive to power down. Press the drive ejection
button on the top of the hard drive dock the release the drive. Then pull the drive
from the slot.
Driver Installation
Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7/8 and Linux
No driver installation is required for these operating systems, as this hard drive dock is
natively supported, so the drivers are already installed.
