Installation

Warning!
Drives and storage enclosures should be handled carefully,
especially when they’re transported. If you’re not careful with your
drives, you may lose data as a result. Always handle storage devices
with caution.
1. Connect the external power adapter from the dock to a power
outlet.
2. Do one of the following:
• Connect the included USB cable from the dock to a USB port on
your computer system. Your computer can either be turned on
or turned off when you connect the USB cable.
• Connect the included eSATA cable from the dock to an eSATA
port on your computer system. Your computer can either be
turned on or turned off when you connect the USB cable.
Note:
The host eSATA port needs to support port-multiplier
technology. If the eSATA port doesn’t support port multiplication,
only one of the installed SATA drives will be accessible.
3. Press the
Power
button on the top of the dock for each of the
slots that contain a drive. The LED indicator should light up to
indicate that the dock is turned on.
Install a drive
1. Carefully align a 2.5 in. or 3.5 in. SATA drive with a drive slot on the
dock, so that the SATA power and data connectors on the drive
are aligned with the corresponding connectors that are inside of
the drive slot.
2. Insert the 2.5 in. or 3.5 in. SATA drive into one of the drive slots.
3. Press the
Power
button to turn on the duplicator dock. The LED
indicator should light up to indicate that the dock is turned on.
After the drive is installed and the dock is turned on, your computer
automatically recognizes the drive and it’s accessible as though the
drive is installed internally in the system. If your computer doesn’t
automatically recognize the drive, see the
Prepare a drive for use
topic.
