UltraDock v4 User Manual A9-000-0026 REV 1.0 - 5 -
Note: The UltraDock may utilize any 12V
regulated switching power supply capable of
supplying 2A or greater. Do not use
unregulated adapters, as damage may occur to
the UltraDock or the attached drive.
2.3 Connecting and Powering UltraDock
Connect the eSATA, FireWire or USB cable from your computer into the corresponding port on the
UltraDock.
Connect power to the UltraDock. Use either the included AC adapter or, optionally, you can connect a 4-
wire power cable from inside a computer case. This is useful if you wish to access a drive inside a
computer without removing it first.
Your UltraDock is now ready to use! Turn on the unit by
moving the power switch to the “I” position. The red drive access
indicator will light briefly after the unit is powered up, indicating
that the FireWire bridge has successfully established
communication with the drive. Thereafter, it will light whenever
the drive is accessed.
2.4 Using UltraDock v4 with v4 Combo Adapters
Combo Adapters are available from WiebeTech that can allow your
UltraDock to access all kinds of drives. Follow these three simple steps to
use a Combo Adapter with your dock:
1. Attach the dock’s 4-wire power connector to the adapter.
2. Connect the dock’s IDE ribbon cable to the adapter’s IDE pins.
3. Connect the drive to the adapter.
You are now ready to use your dock to access the drive. Combo Adapters are available for SATA drives,
notebook drives, microdrives, ZIF drives, and more. See the WiebeTech website for more details
