HI-SPEED USB TO SATA/IDE ADAPTER USER MANUAL MODEL 179195 manhattanproducts.
INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing the Manhattan® Hi-Speed USB to SATA/IDE Adapter, Model 179195. This convenient device connects SATA, SATA-enhanced, IDE and enhanced-IDE hard disks to desktop and notebook computers using a USB port. And with its convenient built-in, one-touch copy feature, you can more easily transfer, share and back up files or store large file archives on external drives.
HARDWARE INSTALLATION 1. Always connect the Hi-Speed USB to SATA/IDE Adapter to the HDD port first, then to the computer’s USB port. NOTE: If using the included 4-pin internal power cable instead, turn off the PC before connecting. Windows will detect a new device and automatically install the driver. 2. To verify the connection, go to Start / Control Panel / Device Manager. Open “Hard disk controllers” to display the newly added hard disk drive. 3.
2. When the License and Warranty Agreement displays, click “Agree” to continue. 3. Enter the desired pathway for the installation or click “Browse” to find a current folder. Click “Install” to continue. 4. The final Setup screen will display a progress status bar. When finished, the wizard will display an “Install complete!” message. Click “OK” to exit the wizard.
. The PC Clone EX icon will appear in the system tray. To open the program, you can double-click the icon or right-click to display the menu option for selection. CREATING PARTITIONS NOTE: If the hard drive you have placed in the enclosure (the drive that you are copying data to) has already been partitioned, you can proceed to the next section. 1.
2. In the left-hand file directory, click/select “Disk Management” so its screen displays on the right. Right-click on the disk identified as “Unallocated,” then click/select “New Partition...” from the pop-up menu. NOTE: To confirm that the drive you’ve placed in the enclosure is indeed the unallocated disk, disconnect the USB cable and see if the corresponding “Unallocated” text disappears. 3. With the Format Partition screen displayed, select your preferred settings, then click “Next” to continue.
OPTION: An alternative pathway for accessing the formatting options is through Start on your desktop, then All Programs / PCCloneEX / FNet FAT32 Format. The formatting details and instructions will appear on the screens that display. FAT32 FORMAT UTILITY With the increases in drive capacities, the FAT32 Format Utility in older operating systems is unable to support data transfers in excess of 32 GB.
3. Confirm that the fields for USB Device and Drive to Format display your preferences and click Start. 4. Select “Quick Format” and click Start. Remember, all data previously loaded on the receiving HDD will be deleted.
5. A Status screen will display the progress of the formatting. 6. When the Format Complete message displays, click OK. The selected disk has been formatted with the FAT32 file system.
ONE-TOUCH BACKUP FUNCTION To use any of the features available with this function, be sure the adapter is plugged into a USB port on your computer and powered on, and that a backup drive has been properly loaded in the enclosure. NOTE: Before backing up files for the first time using this device, it’s recommended that the function parameters be set on the File Backup Settings screen in the PC Clone EX program. 1.
Quick File Backup 1. As mentioned above, you can click on the Quick File Backup icon (5) when you first open the program and are presented with the Quick Launch screen. NOTE: If using the backup function for the first time, you may want to first go to Setup to establish your preferred function parameters. Setup is where a hot key can be created for even quicker use of the backup function. 2. With your files selected for backup, click OK when prompted.
3. When the file backup begins, a status bar displays to indicate the progress of the procedure. When the “Backup finished!” prompt displays, click “OK.” File Manager Managing files in PC Clone EX is just like managing files in Windows Explorer. Just drag files between the fixed device and the drive attached to the adapter. Setup You can select your preferences on this screen before you begin backing up files. Options include creating a hotkey: a single command used to initiate the backup function.
Files Backup Type Select “Add files to existing backup” to back up additional files; select “Discard and replace existing backup” to completely re-copy selected files. Other You can select “Quick file backup double confirm” so that a confirmation box will display whenever you use a hot key to initiate a backup. (This is enabled by default.) The other on-screen Setup options are self-explanatory.
2. With your files selected for backup, click OK when prompted. 3. When the file backup begins, a status bar displays to indicate the progress of the procedure. When the “Backup finished!” prompt displays, click “OK.” 4. Confirm that the selected items now appear in the right-hand (USB Device) window.
