•   The unauthorised conversion and/or modi

fi

 cation of the product is not permitted for 

safety and approval reasons (CE).

 

• The product is not a toy and should be kept out of the reach of children.

 

•  The product is only intended for use in dry, enclosed spaces, it must not get damp 

or wet.

 

•  Do not leave packing materials unattended. They may become dangerous play-

things for children.

 

•  Handle the product with care, it can be damaged by impacts, blows, or accidental 

drops, even from a low height.

Installation of a hard drive/SSD

•   If the enclosure is screwed in place on delivery, 

fi

 rst loosen one screw on both the left and 

right side of the enclosure. 

•  Pull the drive drawer out of the aluminium enclosure.

  Take note of the orientation.

•  Plug the SATA hard drive/SSD correctly on to the terminal strip on the circuit board.
•  Fasten the hard drive to the plastic frame with 4 screws.
•  Carefully insert the drive back into the aluminium enclosure; pay attention to the correct 

orientation.

•   Fasten the drive drawer in the aluminium enclosure with one small black screw on both the 

left and right side of the enclosure.

•   Finally, if desired, you can stick the enclosed rubber feet on the bottom of the enclosure.

Connection

There are several types of USB ports: 

•  USB 3.0 Port

   According to the USB 3.0 standard, this can supply a max. current of 900 mA. This should be 

suf

fi

 cient to operate the hard drive enclosure with an hard drive (or a SSD) installed.

   The maximum available current for laptops or non-standard USB 3.0 ports is less. In this 

case, an appropriate USB 3.0 hub with its own power supply is required for correct operation.

•  USB 2.0/1.1 Port

   According to the USB standard, this type of USB port can supply a maximum current of up to 

500 mA (e.g. the USB port on the front or back of the computer or on a USB hub with power 
supply). 

   However, since the hard drive and the hard drive enclosure require a current of more than 

500 mA, operation is not possible in this case. 

   If the power supplied via the USB-port is not suf

fi

 cient, the hard drive will not start, it 

will not be recognised by the operating system. The hard drive makes quiet clicking 
noises, but the motor for the hard drive will not start!

   In some cases, however, some USB 2.0/1.1 ports can supply currents higher than required 

by the USB standard. 

   Therefore, we recommend you to use the hard drive enclosure, with the hard drive/

SSD installed, solely on a USB 3.0 port!

Driver installation

Your operating system already contains the drivers for the hard drive enclosure, which is why 
there is no data carrier with drivers enclosed in the delivery.   
When you connect the hard drive enclosure with the installed hard drive/SSD to the USB port 
for the 

fi

 rst time (see the chapter “Connection”), Windows will detect new hardware. Please 

wait, until installation is complete; this should not take longer than a few seconds.

Partitioning / Formatting the Hard Drive

   A new hard drive must be partitioned and formatted before it will appear in the Win-

dows File Manager and before it can be used. 

•   In Windows 7, Windows Vista or Windows XP, partitioning and formatting can be done easily 

via the Control Panel (via Computer Management/Disk Management).

•   After partitioning, the newly created partition has to be formatted (fast formatting is suf

fi

 cient; 

“normal” formatting may take a long time to complete, depending on the size of the hard 
drive/SSD).

Handling

•   Do not move the product with a hard drive installed, when the latter is in use. Movement during 

operation may cause the write/read heads in the hard drive to make contact with the magnetic 
disk. This may not only lead to data loss but may also damage the hard drive! The same ap-
plies to the 30-second period after the hard drive enclosure has been switched off, until the 
magnetic disk in the hard drive has come to a standstill.

   Naturally, this does not apply when using a SSD, since a SSD does not have any 

moving parts.

•  Do not stand the hard drive enclosure upright, i.e. vertically; because, in the case of 

accidents, an installed hard drive could be damaged (especially if the hard drive is in use).

•   Use only in dry indoor locations. The product must not get damp or wet! 
   Never use the product immediately after it has been taken from a cold room to a warm one. 

The condensation that forms might damage your unit. 

   Allow the product to reach room temperature, before connecting it to the power supply and 

putting it into use. This may take several hours.

•   Avoid the following adverse conditions at the installation location and during transportation:
  -  Excessive humidity or damp
  -  Extreme cold or heat, direct sunlight
  -  Dust or 

fl

 ammable gases, fumes or solvents

  -  Strong vibrations, impacts or blows,
  -  Strong magnetic 

fi

 elds such as those found in the vicinity of machinery or loudspeakers

•   When setting up the product, make sure that the cables are neither kinked nor pinched.
