OWC Data Doubler
6. Install the four T8 screws, two
on each side of the optical
drive carrier, as shown in the
pictures to the right.

7. Remove the tape attaching the optical drive thermal sensor cable to the optical
drive, as shown in the picture to the left. Be careful, as you will be using this tape
again on the Data Doubler.
8. Use the nylon pry tool to remove the optical drive thermal sensor cable
from the optical drive, as circled in the picture to the left. The cable
has some adhesive where it attaches to the optical drive, and the cable
can be damaged easily. Note the position of the cable on the optical
drive. When you move the cable to the Data Doubler, you want to match
the position as closely as possible in order to ensure that there is
enough slack to connect the cable back to the logic board.
9. Place the optical drive thermal sensor cable on the drive in the
Data Doubler, as shown in the picture to the right. Remember to align
it as closely as possible with the position on the optical drive. Note
that the screw just above the cable is in roughly the same position
on the optical drive as it is on a hard drive or SSD. Also, the bend
in the lower end of the cable should begin just as the cable crosses
over the optical drive carrier.
