Drive Installation
1. Carefully align and insert the 2.5” or 3.5” SATA drive(s) you wish to dock in the
desired hard drive slot on the docking station, such that the SATA power and data
connectors on the drive are properly aligned with the corresponding connectors
inside the hard drive slot.
2. Press the power button that corresponds with the drive you would like to access.
3. Once the drives have been installed and the docking station has been powered on,
the computer Operating System will automatically recognize the drive(s) and it will
be accessible as though it were installed in the system internally.
Note: If your computer fails to automatically recognize your drive it is likely your
drive has not been initialized or formatted correctly. (See Drive Initialization in
Software operation for further instructions.)
