Hardware 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.

1. Open the enclosure by sliding the top panel away from the USB port, and lifting

from the enclosure base.

2. Attach the included “HDD Pad” to the back side of the 2.5” Hard Drive, oposite the

SATA connector.

Instruction Manual

3. Connect the the 2.5” SATA Hard Drive

4. Align the hooks on the top panel with the groves on the Base of the enclosure and

slide the top panel back into place.

Instruction Manual

5. With the enclosure fully assembled, connect the USB 3.0 cable from the enclosure to

a USB port on the host computer system using the included cable.

How to Use

Connecting the Hard Drive

Once the enclosure has been attached to a computer, and the necessary software has

been installed, the 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. To format your newly attached hard drive, or create partitions,

please consult the documentation that accompanied your operating system at the

time of purchase.

Powering the Drive Enclosure

The hard drive enclosure requires no external power supply, as it is capable of receiving

enough power from the USB Bus to which it is connected.

LED Indicator

The hard drive enclosure oers an LED indicator, to enable you to monitor drive

activity. When the enclosure is powered, the LED will illuminate. While the hard drive

is being accessed, the LED will blink. 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.

Instruction Manual

Disconnecting the Hard Drive

Windows

1. Select the “Safely remove Hardware and Eject Media” icon, located in the task bar.

2. Select “Eject USB 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 disconnect the enclosure from the

computer by removing the USB connection.

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 enclosure/drive from the computer.

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 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”.
