drive bay on the host computer.
4. Gently, slide HSB220SAT25B into the now vacant 3.5”oppy drive bay, threading the
connected cables through the opening, until the front panel of HSB220SAT25B is
ush with the computer case front panel.
5. Make sure the screw slots located on the side panels of HSB220SAT25B are
aligned with the screw holes provided by the computer drive bay, then secure
HSB220SAT25B to the computer drive bay using the provided screws.
6. Connect both of the LP4 connectors provided by the Y-cables (see steps #1, #4) to
LP4 connectors provided by the computer power supply.
7. Connect the remaining ends of the SATA Data cables to the appropriate ports on
the computer motherboard. You may want to make note of which SATA ports
are used on the motherboard, in relation to their location on the rear panel of
HSB220SAT25B.
Drive Installation
Once HSB220SAT25B has been secured within the computer casing, and connected
appropriately:

Please note: It is essential that the drive be positioned properly within the drive bay.
Attempting to install a drive with its interface improperly aligned with the drive bay
interface could cause serious damage to both the drive and the drive bay.
2. Position a 2.5”SATA hard drive so that the SATA interface is directed into one of the
drive bays, label side up. Gently press the drive inward until the front panel door
begins to close, then lock the drive in place by closing the door until it clicks shut.
Repeat this procedure to install a second 2.5” SATA drive, into the remaining bay:

1. Open the front panel door by gently sliding the locking button from left
to right.
2. Gently pull the door open to eject the drive partially, then pull the drive
out from the enclosure:
