1. INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing your EZ Bus Desktop system.

Engineered for desktop and notebook applications, the EZ Bus Desktop

family of storage & backup products has three interfaces to choose from:

USB 2.0 (EZ Bus DT), SATA (EZ Bus DTS) and USB2.0/FireWire Combo (EZ

Bus DTC).

The EZ Bus DT kit comes with an extensive software bundle:

1. The award winning EZ Gig II backup and disaster recovery software is

comprised of two separate programs providing complete protection for your

entire computer system.

Clone EZ creates an exact bootable clone of your hard drive, thus

providing a disaster recovery backup of your system. In the event of a

hard drive failure, you could be back up and running in minutes.

Image EZ takes a snapshot of your entire system and compresses it into

a ﬁle half its original size, thus enabling multiple backups to a single

drive. This method saves hours of system rebuilding and is simple and

easy to use.

2. Second Copy Synchronizing software provides a variety of options to

synchronizing your system for ﬁle sharing or backup. The software is simple

and easy to use, while taking only a few minutes to complete.

3. Cryptainer Encryption software secures your data with absolute privacy

using Blowﬁsh 128bit encryption. Cryptainer allows you to password protect

and secure any ﬁle or folder. Simply drag and drop the ﬁles and folders you

wish to hide and your data is safe and protected.

Backing up your valuable data has never been easier. The ultra-cool fan

keeps the enclosure at optimal temperatures which will extend the life of

your hard drive and data. With storage capacities up to 400GB, you’ll have

plenty of space not only to back up your entire system, but also for additional

storage of all of your digital photos, emails, music and video ﬁles.

Regardless of whether you use a notebook, desktop PC, or MAC, EZ Bus

Desktop units are the ideal backup and storage solution to add additional

capacity to your system. Simply plug the unit into your port and instantly

increase the storage capabilities of the computer.

3. HARD DRIVE INSTALLATION FOR EZ BUS DT KIT

Only the EZ Bus DT Kit is shipped without a hard disk drive. If you have

purchased an EZ Bus DT with a hard drive, proceed to section 4 (page 6).

To install your 3.5” hard disk drive, follow the instructions below:

Step 1. Pull and rotate the rubber plugs located on the side of the

enclosure.

Step 2. Gently remove the top cover from the enclosure. You should see

two cables without anything attached to them. These will connect

to your hard disk drive.

Step 3. Set your hard disk drive to Master (please consult your hard drive

manufacturer/manual), then attach the ﬂat cable and the power

cable to the hard disk drive. Gently place the hard disk drive into

the enclosure. Check to make sure the hard disk drive lines up

with the screw holes on the enclosure.

Step 4. Replace the top cover by inserting the tabs into the slots on the

bottom of the case.

Step 5. Insert the four screws provided in the places indicated and tighten

the screws in place. Once this is complete, the top cover, hard

disk drive and bottom case will be held securely together.

Step 6. Rotate and insert the rubber plugs into their original positions to

cover up the exposed screw heads.

Step 7. You are now ready to use your EZ-Bus-DT. You will need to

initialize your new hard drive, instructions for this are on page

17.
