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.

Hardware Installation

1. Connect the eSATA end of the adapter cable into an eSATA port on the

external storage device, while it is powered off.

NOTE: Port Multiplier support is not available, so only a single disk/volume

from the eSATA device will be detected.

2. Turn on the external storage device.

3. Connect the USB end to an available USB port on the host computer.

The adapter will operate at the native speed of the USB port (i.e. USB

2.0 port: 480 Mbps, USB 3.0 port: 5 Gbps).

NOTE: If the eSATA port on the host computer supports Hot-Plugging /

Plug-and-Play operation, the computer can be running when the cable is

plugged in. Otherwise connect the cable before turning the computer on.

4. The computer system will automatically detect the storage device and

install it. No additional driver installation is required for the adapter

cable.

5. Once successfully installed, the Link LED on the adapter will light up.

The external storage device is now ready for use.

Hardware Removal

Stop the external storage device through the operating system by either

unmounting the storage volume (Mac OS) or stopping the USB device

(Windows).

Once the storage device has been stopped, it can be safely turned off or

the adapter cable disconnected.
