Multimedia Card, Secure Digital Card, IBM Micro drive etc. This drive is to be used for all systems
running on the Intel or AMD (or equivalent) Microprocessors.
Hardware Installation
Ensure that you work in a well-lit area so you can clearly see the cables, switches, jumpers etc.
1. Loosen the cover screws of your computer and remove the cover. Depending on your system, it may lift
off or slide off from the top, back or side. Please refer to your system manual for details.
2. Locate a 3.5”drive bay in your computer. There maybe a plastic or front plate. Gently remove the front
plate.
3. Insert the drive and line up the holes with the side of the computer and ensure that the drive is secure by
screwing it in.
4. Locate pin 1 on the ribbon cable. The wire being colored red or textured differently from the others can
identify Pin1 of the ribbon cable.
5. On the motherboard, locate the 10-pin USB header and connect its pin 1 to the pin 1 of the ribbon cable.
Please verify pin-out before turning on your system.
! You may also use the other USB cable to connect to your internal USB port or external USB
port instead of the motherboard connection.
6. Turn on the system and watch the Digidrive carefully and ensure that the LEDs light up. Your
installation is now complete.
