Hardware Installation
WARNING! Hard drives and storage enclosures require careful handling, especially
when being transported. If you are not careful with your hard disk, lost data may
result. Always handle your hard drive and storage device with caution. Be sure that
you are properly grounded by wearing an anti-static strap when handling computer
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.
1. Set the enclosure on a at surface, with the cooling fan facing downwards.
2. On the top panel, remove the two small screws at the corners. Remove the top
panel.
3. Located at the opposite end from the internal SATA connectors is a small plastic
wedge. Flip the wedge up and out of the enclosure.
4. Place the 3.5”SATA hard drive into the enclosure and then slide it into the SATA
connectors.

5. Flip the wedge down again, to secure the hard drive. For thinner hard drives, an
optional, thicker foam pad is included.
6. Place the top panel back on to the enclosure and fasten the two corner screws and
stand the enclosure back up.
7. Connect the external power adapter to the enclosure and ip the power switch to
the “1” position. The enclosure and hard drive will power up.
8. Connect the USB cable from the enclosure to the computer system.
How to Use
Connecting the Hard Drive
Once the enclosure has been attached to a computer, and the OS has installed the
necessary software, the 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 see the Initializing the Hard Drive section.
LED Indicator
The hard drive enclosure oers an LED indicator, to enable you to monitor drive
activity. When the enclosure is powered, the LED will illuminate. While the hard drive
is being accessed, the LED will blink. 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
1. Select the “Safely remove Hardware and Eject Media”icon, located in the task bar.
2. Select the storage device from the list that appears.
3. Wait for the message indicating that it is now safe to remove the device.
Note: Removing the connected drive prior to receiving notication that it is safe to
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
To safely disconnect the attached drive from the host computer, close any windows
listing the contents of the removable drive. Once all 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 on “My Computer” (“Computer” in
Vista/ 7 / 8/ 8.1), then select Manage. In the new Computer Management window,
select 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, 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 that says it is “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 select“New Partition”.
