STEP 2. CONNECT THE POWER (PAGE 6)

STEP 3. MAKE THE THUNDERBOLT CONNECTION (PAGE 7)

STEP 4. POWER ON THE J4 AND CHECK THE LEDS(PAGE 8)

*Note

There are two versions of the Pegasus J4 available, one is

shipped without any physical storage drives. For this version,

it is necessary to install four 2.5” HDD or SSD into the empty

storage drive bays to use the device and then conﬁgure a

ﬁle system on the drives. The other version is shipped with

drives installed and ready to use.

INTHE PACKAGE

The Pegasus J4 package includes the following items:

* Pegasus J4

* Power cord, 1.5m

* Quick Start Guide

Follow the instructions for your version of the J4. One version has storage

drives installed and conﬁgured; another version requires the user to install

and conﬁgure 2.5” SATA storage drives.

Important

The Pegasus J4 requires a Thunderbolt cable (sold separately)

for connection to the host computer.

I NSTALL HARD DISKS

If your J4 has drives installed, skip ahead to “Connect the power” on page

6. If your J4 does NOT have drives installed, ﬁrst install four storage drives

in the J4.

REMOVE HOUSING COVER

1. Make sure the J4 is

powered off, and that

no power cable or

Thunderbolt cables are

attached.

2. Turn the J4 upside

down and place it on

a clean, dry table,

or similar ﬂat stable

surface. Be careful not

to scratch the housing.

3. Use a small Phillips

screwdriver to remove

the ﬁve screws that

secure the top housing.

Caution

The electronic components within the Pegasus J4

enclosure are sensitive to damage from Electro-Static

Discharge (ESD). Observe appropriate precautions at all

times when handling the J4 and storage drives

4. Hold the loosened housing top in place and turn the J4 back to the

normal position (bottom facing down). Place it on the table a lift the

housing top so that it detaches completely from the J4 chassis. Four

empty storage drive bays should be visible.

ready to receive the contacts in the drive bay and oriented so the top

side is facing up (the top has a label with speciﬁcations and other

information about the drive).

of the Pegasus J4, and connect the other end of the cable to a Thunderbolt

port on your computer. The unused Thunderbolt port on the J4 can be used to

connect to another J4 or a monitor.

properly to be inserted into the Thunderbolt port.

P OWER ON THE J4 AND CHECK THE LEDS

Once the Thunderbolt connection is established it will be detected
