6. Gently insert the tray into the enclosure, ensuring that the top of the tray matches the 

top of the enclosure and that the rear panel of the tray is flush with the outer edge of 
the enclosure.

7. Using the screws you removed in step 1, re-secure the tray inside the enclosure. All 4

screws should be tightened snugly.

1. Insert the installation CD into your computer’s CD-ROM or other compatible optical 

drive.

2. Double click the 

My Computer

icon on the desktop. Double click the icon for the 

computer’s CD-ROM drive.

3. Double click folders in the following order:

U2HDD_E

U2HD25-003 

WIN98SE

.

4. Right click once on the 

UMSS.INF

file. Choose 

Install

from the menu.

5. You can now connect the enclosure to your computer.

Connecting the Enclosure to a Computer

This product has been tested with Windows 98/98SE, ME, 2000, XP, 2003 Server, and
Mac OS 9.0.x, 9.2.x, and X. Other operating systems may also support this device;
consult your documentation or a computer service professional for details on whether this
product will work with your operating system and configuration.

When used with the Windows operating systems noted above, the drive enclosure is
“hot-swappable” which means the drive can be connected and disconnected while the
computer is running and will be immediately accessible to the user like any other hard
drive.

1. Place the enclosure near the computer you wish to use.

2. Using the provided USB 2.0 data cable, connect one end to the USB connector 

on the rear panel of the enclosure. Connect the opposite end of the cable (with the 
black connector) to an available USB port on the back of the computer or a USB hub.

The LED indicator on the rear panel of the enclosure should light red to indicate 

power.

3. You may also connect the additional USB power connector (clear) that is also on the 

USB data cable in a “Y” configuration. The additional power connector may not be 
necessary in all configurations, however you can attach it if you receive an “insufficient
power” warning from the operating system. In those cases where the enclosure is 
able to receive enough power using a single USB connection, you can use any 
standard USB 2.0 cable to power and use the device.

4. Alternatively, you may also use an external power adapter (not provided) with the 

device. For most configurations, you will not need more power than what can be
