Installation

Installing Drives in the Enclosure

1. Remove the screws holding the rear panel

in place, then slide the rear panel out from

the enclosure.

2. Place the ﬁrst 3.5” SATA hard drive into

the tray, then slide it forward until the drive

interface is ﬁrmly connected to the SATA

connector on the SAT3520U2ER/

SAT3520UERGB. Repeat this step with

the second 3.5” SATA hard drive, using the

remaining tray.

If connecting the enclosure to a host computer using the eSATA

port, please note that in order to use some of the RAID modes of the

enclosure, the eSATA port on the host computer system must provide

Port Multiplier support. If the eSATA port does not offer Port Multiplier

support, only one of the installed drives will be accessible.

Instruction Manual

3. Secure the drives to the Enclosure tray,

using the provided screws.

4. Select the operating mode for your hard drive using the DIP Switches

shown below. Once you have set the DIP switches according to the

desired RAID mode, press the Reset Button to save changes.

Connecting SAT3520U2ER to the Host Computer

Once the hard drives have been installed within the Enclosure and the

necessary dipswitch settings have been made:

on the rear panel of SAT3520U2ER. Connect the remaining end of the

power adapter to an available power outlet.

2. Connect SAT3520U2ER to the host computer using either an eSATA or

USB cable (both included).

NOTE: if using eSATA, the host controller on the computer system needs

to support Port Multiplier technology.

Partitioning Installed Drives

Once the necessary connection (either eSATA or USB) has been made to

the host computer, from the host computer operating system:

1. Right-click on the My Computer icon and select Manage.
