Install a drive
Warning! Drives 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. Make sure that you’re properly grounded by wearing an
anti-static strap when you install any computer component. If an anti-static strap isn’t
available, touch a large grounded metal surface for several seconds to discharge any
built-up static electricity.
1. If the Enclosure screws are installed, use the provided screwdriver to remove the
screws from the sides of the drive enclosure.
2. Pull out the drive tray.
3. Gently slide the connector on your SATA drive into the corresponding Drive
connector on the drive tray. The connector on your SATA drive is keyed so that it
only ts one way.
4. Insert four of the drive-mount screws through the Drive-mount holes in the bottom
of the drive tray and into the drive.
5. Use the provided screwdriver to tighten the screws in place.
6. Slide the drive tray back into the drive enclosure.
7. Insert one of the Enclosure screws on each side of the drive enclosure.
8. Use the provided screwdriver to tighten the screws in place.
To remove a drive from the drive tray, push up on the drive through the square Cutout
on the underside of the drive tray.
Connect a drive to your computer
Note: To accommodate the type of USB port that your computer is equipped with, a
USB-A to Micro-B and a USB-C to Micro-B cable are provided with the drive enclosure.
When you connect the drive enclosure to your computer, make sure that you use the
cable that’s appropriate for your computer.
• After you install a drive in the drive enclosure, connect one of the provided USB
cables to the enclosure’s USB 3.1 Micro-B port and to the USB port on your
computer.
When you connect the drive enclosure to your computer and the OS automatically
installs the necessary software, the drive is accessible as though it’s installed internally
in the system. Before you use the drive, you need to prepare it for use and format it to
the requirements of your OS. For more information, see the “Prepare a drive for use”
topic.
Note: The drive enclosure doesn’t require an external power supply, as it receives
enough power through the USB bus that it’s connected to.
