Instruction Manual

How to Use

Connecting the Hard Drive

Once the enclosure has been attached to a computer, and powered on, your computer

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 below for

further instructions.)

LED Indicator

The hard drive enclosure oers LED indicators for each drive, so you can 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.

Disconnecting the Hard Drive

Windows

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

2. Select the Mass 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 disconnect the enclosure from the

computer by removing the USB connection.
