WARNING: Be sure that you are properly grounded before opening your computer case or
touching any components. StarTech.com recommends that you wear an anti-static strap
when installing any computer equipment. If an anti-static strap is unavailable, discharge
yourself of any static electricity build-up by touching a large grounded metal surface (such
as the computer case) for several seconds.
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 your hard drive and
storage device with caution.
4. Connect the SATA data connector on the rear panel of the Drive Bay Frame to the motherboard,
using the included SATA data cable, then connect the an available LP4 power connector (provided
by computer power supply) to the LP4 Power connector on the Drive Bay Frame.

been made, replace the side panels of the computer casing (removed in step 2) and power up the

removed, connect it to an available USB 2.0 port on the host computer, using the USB 2.0 cable
provided, and connect the included power adapter to the port marked DC5V on the rear panel of the
Enclosure.
