Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the 2.5” HDD Enclosure Kit.
Your 2.5” HDD enclosure enables blazing fast data transfer speed and instant addition
of external storage capacity. Simply complete the installation process to begin using
your enclosure.
Important Reminders for all Enclosures
1) The main circuit board of the HDD enclosure is susceptible to static electricity.
Proper grounding is required to prevent electrical damage to the enclosure or
other connected devices, including the computer host. Always place the HDD
enclosure on a smooth, flat surface and avoid all dramatic movement,
vibration and percussion.
2) Do NOT allow water to enter the HDD enclosure.
3) Avoid placing the HDD enclosure close to magnetic devices (such as a mobile
phone), high-voltage devices (such as a hair dryer), or near a heat source
(such as on the dashboard of a car or any place where the enclosure will be
subject to direct sunlight).
4) The operating system may NOT detect the HDD enclosure if it does not
support the interface of your HDD enclosure. If so, installation of an
appropriate driver on the host computer is required.
5) Ensure that only a 9.5mm high 2.5” HDD is used in the enclosure. The
Enclosure will not function if an older model HDD with a different thickness is
used. Additionally the enclosure and other equipment may be damaged.
Please thoroughly read and follow the instructions provided in this
manual. Failure to do so may result in damage to the enclosure and
any or all of the connected devices.

3) Carefully slide the bottom panel out of the enclosure housing.
4) Remove the screw from the control board by loosening the plastic caps.
5) Gently slide the Hard Drive into place.
6) Fasten the hard drive to the base using a Phillips screwdriver and the (4) screws
included in the package.

OK!!
Connecting the Enclosure to a Computer
Complete the following steps to connect the enclosure to a host computer.
1) Connect the AC/DC power adapter; ensure that the green LED indicator is
active. The LED indicator will blink during data transfer.
2) Insert the USB or IEEE 1394(b) connector into the corresponding port.
3) Insert the USB or IEEE 1394(b) connector into an available port on the
computer.

Notes:
1) Any cable (FireWire, FireWire800, or USB 2.0) inserted before the enclosure is
powered on has priority over the other cables and will be the primary connection
method, i.e.: If the enclosure is connected via FireWire 800 before powering on
the enclosure, data will be transferred via FireWire800.
2) The enclosure should only be connected to a computer via one interface at a
time. Connection of the enclosure to a computer via two or more interfaces is not
recommended.
3) FireWire and FireWire800 support bus power, these enclosures can be powered
on without use of the AC adapter.
4) Due to a chipset issue of the SATA Hard Drive Enclosure model, the 1394
repeater functionality can be achieved via the 1394a port and one of the 1394b
ports, or both 1394b ports. The graphic below illustrates the repeater support.
