2. Connect the Dock to the (powered) Host Computer, using the provided

USB 3.0 cable.

3. Insert the 2.5”or 3.5”SATA drive you wish to install, such that the SATA power

and data connectors at the back of the drive are properly aligned with the

corresponding connectors inside the Dock.

4. Switch the power switch to “ON”position.

Once the drive has been inserted, the operating system will detect that it has been

connected and automatically update the drivers for proper operation.

SATA Drive Removal

When removing the installed drive from the Dock, please ensure that you have

followed the appropriate steps (dependant on the operating system) to disconnect

removable storage. In Windows for example, click on the Safe Remove icon located in

the taskbar. Select the drive from the menu provided, then click Stop. Select the device

to disconnect, and click OK.

icon on the desktop.

Instruction Manual

Initializing the Hard Drive

1. If the SATA Hard Drive is blank it may need to be initialized and formatted before

use. From the main Windows desktop, right-click on “My Computer” (“Computer” in

Vista/ 7 / 8), then select Manage. In the new Computer Management window, select

Disk Management from the left window panel.

2. A dialog window should 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. GPT (GUID partition) 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”.

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