IDE Drive Installation
1. Connect the included 40-pin IDE ribbon cable to the IDE connector on the rear of
the dock. If using a 2.5in IDE hard drive, connect the 40 to 44-pin IDE cable to the
rear of the dock.
2. Connect the included LP4 Molex power cable into the LP4 connector on the rear
of the dock. If using the 40 to 44-pin cable, connect the built-in LP4 connector to
the connector on the rear of the dock.
3. Connect the IDE hard drive to the ribbon cable and LP4 Molex connector (3.5in
only). Make sure all of the cables are securely connected.
4. Insert the IDE hard drive into the top-loading drive bay (closest to rear connectors).
5. Press the IDE Hard Drive power button.
Note:
If your computer fails to automatically recognize your drive it is likely your drive
has not been initialized or formatted correctly. (See Drive Initialization in Software
operation for further instructions.)
