Introduction
The SATDOCKCRH combines the convenience of a SATA docking station with a 13-in-1 card
reader and 2-port USB hub, and can be connected to a host computer through either USB or
eSATA.
Providing immediate access to SATA hard drive contents, (by simply inserting the HDD into
the SATA dock), SATDOCKCRH lets you copy the contents between your memory cards, ash
drives and bare SATA hard drives all from one centrally connected device when connected to a
computer. The HDD docking station supports data transfer speeds of up to 3 Gbps (using eSATA)
and 480Mbps (using USB 2.0) between host and dock - ensuring eortless data dumps, backups
and hassle-free le transfers.

Installation
WARNING: Hard drives require careful handling, especially when being transported. If you are
not careful with your hard disk, lost data may result. Always handle storage devices with caution.
Hardware Installation
1. Connect the external power adapter from the hard drive dock to a power outlet.
2. Insert a 2.5” or 3.5” hard drive into the top loading slot. Make sure that the connectors on the
hard drive are facing the same corner of the slot that has a cutout in the door. The label on
the hard drive should face the front of the hard drive dock.
3. Connect the USB cable and eSATA cable from the hard drive dock to the computer system.
NOTE: The hard drive dock can be used with only the USB connection, if eSATA is not
available on the computer system. The hard drive can be used over eSATA alone, however to
use the USB hub and/or card reader, the USB must be connected.
4. Once all connections are made, press the power button on the top of the hard drive dock.
5. To remove the hard drive, make sure it is currently not being accessed by the computer then
unmount or uninstall the disk drive from the operating system (see documentation for your
operating system). Press the drive ejection button on the top of the hard drive dock the
release the drive. Then pull the drive from the slot.
Driver Installation
Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7, Mac OS X, Linux
No driver installation is required for these operating systems, as the hard drive dock, USB hub
and card reader are natively supported, so the drivers are already installed.
