2. Using FRTX400H-QJ
2.1 Installing a Host Bus Adapter (HBA)
(Optional) Install a host bus adapter (HBA) with FireWire 800 or eSATA ports
into an empty expansion slot inside your computer. If your computer already
has available FireWire or eSATA ports, or if you would rather use USB, you
can skip this step. Compatible cards are available from WiebeTech
(www.wiebetech.com). The following general steps will work for most cards.
Instructions for individual cards may vary, so consult your card’s user
manual.
a) Power down the computer system.
b) Insert the PCI card into an available PCI slot. Do not force it, but it will take firm pressure to fully
seat the interface. It may help to gently rock the card back and forth as you apply pressure.
c) Once the card is fully seated in the slot, secure it in place with a screw.
d) Turn the computer back on.
2.2 Jumper Configuration for 3.5-inch IDE/PATA HDD
If using a 3.5-inch IDE/PATA drive configure the jumpers on your hard drive. The drive must be set to the
Master setting. Consult the instructions for your drive (some drives display configuration information on
the drive’s label). A few drives have both “Master with Slave Present” and “Master without Slave” options.
Choose the latter in this case. In rare cases, if the Master setting does not work then try Cable Select.
2.3 Installing Hard Drives
2.3.2 SATA HDD: 3.5-inch
For SATA drives simply pull on the ejection handle
and open the door. Then just slide in your SATA drive
and shut the door behind it. The drive slides in with
the label up and the SATA connection on the drive is
the side that slides in first. For extra security for your
hard drive you can lock the bay, but make sure to
unlock it before pulling on the ejection handle again.
