Hardware Installation

1. Secure the included Hard Drive Handles to the hard drives with the supplied screws

and screw driver.

2. Press the front door in to release the latch and open the door. The door is also

removable for easier access.

cage are two small tabs. Press them down to release the cage and remove it.

Instruction Manual

4. Remove the card board inserts (if rst time setup) and then insert the hard drives

into the slots. If installing less than 4 drives, ensure a drive is installed in the bottom

slot. This will help when reinstalling the metal cage. Hard drives can be removed

from the enclosure by pressing down on the handles, then pulling them out.

5. Once all of the hard drives are installed, reinstall the metal cage and front door.

Make sure the bottom of the cage stays inside of the track before closing the cover.

6. Connect the power adapter DIN connector into the side of the enclosure and power

up the enclosure.

Driver Installation

Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003/Vista / Vista /7, Mac OS X, Linux

No driver installation is required for these operating systems, as this enclosure is

natively supported, so the drivers are already installed.

Instruction Manual

How to Use

eSATA/USB Connectivity

The enclosure features two separate host interfaces, which can be physically

connected at the same time, however only one will be active at a time. The enclosure

could even be connected to two dierent computers, one over eSATA and the other

over USB, and then switched between. The eSATA and USB Link LEDs, located above

the Power button, will indicate which interfaces are connected, while the eSATA and

USB Mode LEDs will indicate which interface is currently active.

Fan Speed Control

The cooling Smart Fan is automatically controlled by an integrated thermal sensor,

but can also be set manually. The fan is capable of running at 3 dierent speeds

depending on the temperature range of the enclosure (less than 45oC, between 45-

54oC, and greater than 55oC), or set manually to run constantly at one speed.
