Hardware Installation WARNING: Hard drives and storage enclosures require careful handling, especially when being transported. If you are not careful with your hard disk, lost data may result. Always handle your hard drive and storage device with caution. Be sure that you are properly grounded by wearing an anti-static strap when handling computer components or discharge yourself of any static electricity build-up by touching a large grounded metal surface (such as the computer case) for several seconds.
3. Connect your 2.5” SSD/HDD to the drive tray. a) If connecting a SATA drive, connect the SATA connector on the drive to the SATA drive port on the drive tray. b) If connecting an IDE drive, connect the IDE connector on the drive to the IDE drive port on the drive tray.
4. Secure the drive in place with the 4 provided drive screws. 5. Slide the drive tray back inside the enclosure. Note: Ensure the USB port is pointing outward.
5. Place the front plate back on the enclosure, over the drive tray, and drive each of the drive tray screws back into place using the included screw driver. 6. To complete installation, connect the included USB Y cable from the USB 3.0 Micro type B port on the enclosure to any 2 available USB port on your computer system.
How to Use Connecting the Hard Drive Once the enclosure has been attached to a computer, and the OS has installed the necessary software, the drive will be accessible as though it were installed within the system. Prior to using the drive, it will need to be formatted according to your operating system requirements. To format your newly attached hard drive, or create partitions, please see the Initializing the Hard Drive section.
Initializing the Hard Drive 1. If the SATA Hard Drive is blank it may need to be initialized and formatted before use. From the main Windows desktop, right-click on “My Computer” (“Computer” in Vista/ 7 / 8/ 8.1), then select Manage. In the new Computer Management window, select Disk Management from the left window panel. 2. A dialog window should automatically appear, asking you to initialize the drive.
