USB 2.0
If you are using the USB 2.0 interface to connect the hard drive enclosure to your
computer, no setup is required. Simply plug the hard drive enclosure into an available
USB port and turn the power on to the hard drive enclosure. Open My Computer and

eSATA
If you are using the eSATA interface to connect the hard drive enclosure to your
computer, there are two setup processes you can follow. If the hard drive enclosure
is powered on upon booting up the computer, it will automatically detect the drive.
Otherwise, if you connect and power on the hard drive enclosure once the computer
has already been booted up, you will need to open the Device Manager to scan for it.
The following directions outline the necessary steps to access your hard drive when
the computer has already been booted up:
1. Right click My Computer and click Manage.
2. In the left pane, select Device Manager.
3. In the Device Manager window, click the + next to the Disk Drives icon. Since your
drive was not powered on during the boot up process, it should not yet be visible.
4. Turn on the hard drive enclosure. Once the power indicator is illuminated, click the
Scan button.
5. The Device Manager will scan for plug and play hardware. Once it has completed
the scan, your drive should be visible below the Disk Drives heading.
