components or discharge yourself of any static electricity build-up by touching a large
grounded metal surface (such as the computer case) for several seconds.

Interfacing with USB Controller
1. Connect the USM to USB 3.0 interface adapter to the enclosure through the USM
port.
2. Connect the USB 3.0 cable from the USB port on the adapter to an available USB 3.0
port on your computer system.
How to Use
Connecting the Hard Drive
Once the enclosure has been attached to a computer, the drivers will install
automatically, and the inserted drive will be accessible as though it were installed
within the system.
Prior to using the drive, it will need to be formatted according to your operating
system requirements. To format your newly attached hard drive, or create partitions,
please consult the documentation that accompanied your operating system at the
time of purchase.
LED Indicator
The hard drive enclosure features an LED indicator that you can use to monitor drive
activity. The LED will ash while the hard drive is being accessed. Do not remove the
enclosure from the host computer while the LED is ashing, as it could damage the
drive or the enclosure, resulting in data loss.
Disconnecting the Hard Drive
Windows

2. Click the Mass Storage Device from the list that appears.

do so, could result in losing or corrupting data stored on the drive. Once the Safe
to Remove Hardware message appears, please disconnect the enclosure from the
computer by removing the USB connection.

Mac OS X
1. To safely disconnect the attached drive from the host computer, close any windows
listing the contents of the removable drive.
2. Once all of the windows are closed, click on the USB storage icon on the desktop,
and drag it to the Trash Can icon on the desktop.
Allow 5 seconds before physically removing the enclosure/drive from the computer.
Initializing the Hard Drive
1. If the SATA Hard Drive is blank it may need to be initialized and formatted before
use. From the main Windows desktop, right-click My Computer (Computer in Vista/
7 / 8), then click Manage. In the new Computer Management window, click Disk
Management from the left window panel.
2. A dialog window should automatically appear, asking you to initialize the drive.
Depending on the version of Windows that you’re running, it will give you the
option of either creating an MBR or GPT disk. GPT (GUID partition) is required for
drives larger than 2TB but is not compatible with some older operating systems,
while MBR is supported by newer and older operating systems.
3. Once initialized, locate the disk labeled Unallocated (check the listed hard drive
capacity to conrm it’s the correct hard drive) and then right-click in the section that
says Unallocated and click New Partition.
4. Complete the on-screen instructions to create the partition.
