5. Connect the enclosure to the host computer system via FireWire or USB cable. If
using the USB Y-cable, make sure to connect the primary connector on the cable to
the host computer. The secondary connector is optional (extra power only).
OPTIONAL: If the SATA drive/enclosure does not power up or is intermittent,
additional power may need to be supplied. If using the USB Y-cable, connect the
secondary connector on the cable to an available USB port on the host computer. If
connecting via FireWire, a USB power cable is supplied that connects from the DC jack
on the enclosure to an available USB port on the host computer.
Driver Installation
Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7/8, Mac OS 9.2/10.x, or Linux/Unix
No driver installation is required for these operating systems, as this enclosure is
natively supported, so the drivers are already installed.

will rst need to prepare the hard drive for use. From the main desktop, right-click
on “My Computer” (“Computer” in Vista), then select Manage. In the new Computer
Management window, select Disk Management from the left window panel.
