4.
Install your SATA hard drive into the tray.
Lay the drive into the frame of the removable tray,
making sure it lays flat. Align the 4 screw positions then use the included screws (#6-32) to secure the
drive into position.
5.
Insert the tray into the SilverSATA IV unit.
Gently push the tray along the sliding track into the
hard drive compartment and then close the tray, as illustrated below. Repeat steps 2 through 5 for each
of the other trays.
6.
Plug in the eSATA cables and power cord.
The SilverSATA IV connects to your computer
through eSATA, an external application of Serial-ATA technology. One end of the cable connects to the
back of the unit. Insert the other end into an eSATA port on the computer.
Your SilverSATA IV is now ready to use! Turn on the power switch on the back of the unit. If your drives
are already formatted, you can begin using them right away. New hard drives will need to be formatted
before they can be used. Initially, each drive is seen as a separate drive by the computer. If you wish,
you may format each drive into a separate volume and use them individually. If you have software for
creating a RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks), you may combine the drives into a single
volume for faster performance and/or data redundancy. Some operating systems, such as OS X, have
this software built in.
