Use caution when installing a hard drive in the enclosure. Excessive shock or force
could damage the drive and/or the enclosure, resulting in data loss.
CAUTION:
Always ensure that you are properly grounded when handling a hard drive or
the enclosure tray, since electronic components can be damaged by static electricity. If

components.

gaps in the tray.
3. Connect the IDE ribbon cable in the tray so that the red stripe faces pin 1 on the hard

tray so it does not move.

enclosure.
