How to Use

Connecting the Hard Drive

Once the drive has been installed in the drive bay, the drivers will install automatically,

and the inserted drive will be accessible as though it were installed within the system.

Prior to using the drive, it will need to be formatted according to your operating

system requirements.

Refer to Initializing the Hard Drive

LED Indicator

The HSB2535SATBK oers 2.5/3.5in LED indicators, to enable you to monitor drive

activity. The LED will ash while the hard drive is being accessed. Do not remove the

enclosure from the host computer while the LED is ashing, as it could damage the

drive or the enclosure, resulting in data loss.

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.

Instruction Manual

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 required for drives larger than 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”.

4. Several on screen prompts will follow walking you through the steps to create the

partition. Follow these prompts to complete partition creation.
