Instruction Manual

Installation

WARNING! Hard drives and docking stations require careful handling. If you are not

careful with your hard disk, lost data may result. Always handle your hard drive and

docking station 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.

Docking Station Installation

1. Connect the Dock to an available power outlet, using the provided power adapter.

2. Connect the Dock to your computer system, using the provided USB/eSATA cable.

Drive Installation

1. Carefully align and insert the 2.5” or 3.5” SATA drive(s) you wish to dock in the

desired hard drive slot on the docking station, such that the SATA power and data

connectors on the drive are properly aligned with the corresponding connectors

inside the hard drive slot.

2. Press the power button so the docking station is turned on.

Note: The single power button operates both drive slots.

Instruction Manual

3. Once the drives have been installed and the docking station has been powered on,

the computer Operating System will automatically recognize the drive(s) and it will

be accessible as though it were installed in the system internally.

Note: If your computer fails to automatically recognize your drive it is likely your

drive has not been initialized or formatted correctly. (See Drive Initialization in

Software operation for further instructions.)

Drive Removal

WARNING! Ensure your hard drive(s) has been disconnected from your computer

operating system prior to attempting drive removal. Failure to properly disconnect

your drive may result in lost data or drive damage. (See Disconnecting the Hard Drive

in Docking Station Operation for further instructions.)

1. Turn o the docking station by pressing the power button.

2. Press the eject button that corresponds with the drive you wish to remove.

3. Carefully grasp the ejected drive and lift it upwards until the bottom of the drive has

completely risen above the hard drive slot.

4. Safely and carefully store your drive in a secure location. (See your hard drive

manual for proper storage instructions.)

Note: We recommend ensuring the docking station is powered o before any drive

is physically inserted or removed from the docking station. If two drives are docked

simultaneously, and one drive is removed while the docking station is still powered

on the other drive will momentarily disconnect from your computer which could

cause drive damage or loss of data if other drive is still mounted.

Instruction Manual

Docking Station Operation

Drive Initialization

Prior to using your installed drive, it will need to be initialized and formatted to the

operating system requirements in order for your computer system to recognize it.

1. 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 will 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.

Note: GPT (GUID partition) is required for drives larger that 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”.

Instruction Manual

4. Follow the on screen prompts to initialize the drive in the format of your choice.

LED Indicator

The docking station oers an LED indicator for each drive, to enable you to monitor

drive activity. When the docking station is powered on, the LED will illuminate. While

the hard drive is being accessed, the LED will blink. Do not remove your drive from the

docking station while the LED is ashing, as it could damage to your drive, 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 remove the drive from the docking

station. (See Drive Removal.)

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 drive from the docking station.
