3.5" and 5.25" IDE/ATA/ATAPI Drives:
1. Before connecting your drive to the Universal Drive Adapter, make sure the drive is set to
‘Master’ or ‘Single Drive’ mode. The drive mode is set by placing one or more jumper blocks on
different pins at the rear of the drive. Jumper settings vary by manufacturer, and often are printed
on the drive itself or the manufacturer’s web site.
2. Connect the IDE/ATA extension cable to the 40-pin ATA connector on the Universal Drive Adapter
and then connect your drive to the extension cable. The connectors are keyed to prevent devices
from being plugged in upside-down. If you are having trouble connecting your drive, check to
make sure it is oriented correctly.
3. Plug the power supply into an AC outlet and then connect the power supply to the four-pin
power connector on the drive.
NOTE:
There is an on/off switch on the power supply cable. Make sure
that this switch is set to the ‘on’ position.
4. Using the included USB 3.1 Gen 1 cable, connect the USB 3.1 Gen 1 port on the Universal Drive
Adapter to any USB port on your computer. Allow up to 30 seconds for your drive to mount as an
external USB device.
Troubleshooting:
Begin troubleshooting by verifying that the drive is receiving power. For the configurations that use the power supply, make sure
it is connected to a power source. If the power supply is connected to a power strip, make sure that the power switch on the strip
is powered on. Next verify that both ends of all necessary cables are properly connected to your computer, the Universal Drive
Adapter, and your drive. If the Universal Drive Adapter is still not working properly, try connecting to a different USB port on your
computer. You can also connect to a different computer. If problems persist, plesae check our frequently asked questions at

2.5" IDE/ATA Drives:
1. Connect your drive to the 44-pin ATA connector on the Universal Drive Adapter. The connectors
on the Universal Drive Adapter and your drive are keyed to prevent devices from being plugged
in upside-down. If you are having trouble connecting your drive, check to make sure it is
oriented correctly.
2. Using the included USB 3.1 Gen 1 cable, connect the USB 3.1 Gen 1 port on the Universal Drive
Adapter to any USB port on your computer. Allow up to 30 seconds for your drive to mount as an
external USB device.
NOTE:
2.5" IDE/ATA drives connected to the Universal Drive Adapter receive power through the USB cable attached to
your computer. If your drive is not receiving enough power, try connecting the Universal Drive Adapter to a different
USB port on your computer.
SATA Drives:
1. Use the combination SATA power and data cable to connect your drive to the Universal Drive
Adapter and to the power supply. Connect the SATA data cable (the red cable) to the SATA
connector on the Universal Drive Adapter, then connect the four-pin power cable to the
four-pin power connector on the power supply. As a final step connect the other end of the
cable (one long SATA connector for both power and data) to the connectors on your drive. See
the photo at left for reference.
2. Plug the power supply into an AC outlet.
NOTE:
There is an on/off switch on the cable coming out
of the power supply. Make sure that this switch is set to the ‘on’ position.
3. Using the included USB 3.1 Gen 1 cable, connect the USB port on the Universal Drive Adapter
to any USB port on your computer. Allow up to 30 seconds for your drive to mount as an
external USB device.
