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 your hard drive and storage device with
caution.
Press on the small tabs on either side of the enclosure to release
1.
the latch that holds the top and bottom covers of the enclosure and
slide the enclosure top cover towards the front.
Place the 2.5” SATA hard drive into the enclosure and then slide the
2.
hard drive connector into the SATA connector inside the enclosure.
Slide the top cover of the enclosure back onto the frame of the
3.
enclosure until it clicks and locks in place.
If using Power eSATA, connect a Power eSATA cable from the
4.
enclosure into a Power eSATA port on the computer.
If using regular eSATA, connect an eSATA cable from the enclosure
to an eSATA port on the computer, and then connect the USB cable
from the enclosure to the computer to provide power.
If using USB, then connect the USB cable from the mini-B connector
on the enclosure to the computer, using the provided USB “Y” split

in first. If additional power is required, connect the second USB
connector on the cable to the computer system.
