Installation

To ensure a quick and easy installation, please read through this section before

attempting to install this device.

WARNING: Hard drives require careful handling, especially when being transported. If

you are not careful with your hard disk, it may result in lost data. Always handle your

hard drive with caution.

WARNING: Hard drives, like all computer equipment can also be severely damaged by

static electricity. Be sure that you are properly grounded before opening your computer

case or touching any components. StarTech.com recommends that you wear an anti-

static strap when installing any computer equipment. If an anti-static strap is unavailable,

discharge yourself of any static electricity build-up by touching a large grounded metal

surface (such as the computer case) for several seconds.

WARNING: Do not bump, jar, or drop the device. Do not disconnect any cables or power

sources while the hard drive is active. This can result in data loss and possible damage

to the hard drive. Always make sure that your hard drive is fully spun down before

removing the device.

NOTE: Prior to installation, please ensure that the cover from both sides of the computer

case have been removed, as you would in order to install a conventional hard drive. For

further instruction on how to complete this step, please consult the documentation that

accompanied your computer at the time of purchase.

Prior to opening your computer case, please remove all power to the computer, as well

as all power connected to the computer peripherally.

1. Remove the covers of two (HSB320SATBK) or three (HSB430SATBK) successive

drive bays (i.e. adjacent to one another).

2. Insert the Multi-Drive Enclosure into the bays made accessible in Step #1, and gently

push it inward until the mounting holes located on the side panels of the enclosure are

aligned with the holes provided by the drive bays:

Instruction Manual

3. Using the mounting screws provided, secure the Multi-Drive Enclosure to the drive

bays:

Connecting the Multi-Drive Enclosure to the motherboard/power

1. a. Attach one end of a SATA data cable (provided) to a SATA port on the motherboard.

Connect the remaining SATA connectors provided by the cable to the topmost

data port located on the rear panel of the Multi-Drive Enclosure.

b. Connect the LP4/TX-4/SATA Power Y-cable to an available LP4 power connector as

provided by the computer power supply.

c. Connect the SATA Power connector provided by the Y-cable to the topmost SATA

power port. Similarly, connect the TX4 connector to the corresponding port, as

shown below.

2. Repeat steps 1a. - 1c. for each remaining drive bay/hard drive being installed.

Instruction Manual

Loading hard drives in the Multi-Drive Enclosure

Please note: If you are using third-party RAID software, please ensure that each drive is

configured properly, prior to insertion.

1. Gently pull the spring lock to open the front door of the drive bay:

2. Position the hard drive so that the drive connectors are facing towards the exposed

drive bay, and the hard drive label is facing upward. Gently insert the hard drive into

the bay, until the front door of the bay begins to close.

3. Press the front door closed, until the spring lock is secured. Please note: The front

door will not close securely, if the hard drive is not properly positioned. If you have

difficulty closing the door, please do not attempt to force it closed, as this can cause

damage to the hard drive connectors, as well as the connectors located inside the

Multi-Drive Enclosure. lease remove the drive from the enclosure and verify that the

drive is properly positioned:

4. Repeat steps 1-3 for each hard drive being installed.

Unloading hard drives in the Multi-Drive Enclosure

Please note: Removing a hard drive from the enclosure while the drive is busy, can

result in lost data. To ensure the drive is not active when you remove it from the

enclosure, please disable the drive from within the Windows Device Manager or the

RAID software being used.

1. Open the front panel of the drive bay from which you wish to remove the hard drive:

2. Remove the hard drive from the bay.

3. Close the front door, to prevent dust particles from entering the drive bay. Once the

door clicks closed, the bay is secure:
