Installing a Drive in the Enclosure

1. Loosen the Retaining Screws, on the rear panel. Please note that these screws do

not need to be removed, rather loosened enough to allow the Hard Drive Tray to slide

out from the enclosure.

2. Slide the Drive Tray out from the Enclosure.

WARNING: Hard drives 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.

WARNING: Hard drives, like all computer equipment can also be severely

damaged by static electricity. Be sure that you are properly grounded before

opening your computer case or touching any components. StarTech.com

recommends that you wear an anti-static strap when installing any computer

equipment. If an antistatic strap is unavailable, discharge yourself of any static

electricity build-up by touching a large grounded metal surface (such as the

computer case) for several seconds.

3. Connect the drive you wish to install (hard drive, optical drive) to the SATA data and

power cables provided by the circuit board attached to the Drive Tray:

4. Once the drive interface connection has been made, please fasten the drive (label side

up) to the Drive Tray using the screws provided:

5. If you are installing an optical drive:

Once the SATA connections to the drive have been secured, and the drive has been

eSATA cable (not provided - please see Accessory Products from StarTech.com for

a solution), or the USB type B connector provided by a USB A-B cable (provided), into

the corresponding port on the rear panel of the Drive Enclosure.

the DC Power Port located on the rear panel of the Enclosure. Connect the remaining

end of the Power Adapter to an available power outlet.

4. Move the Power Switch on the rear panel of the Enclosure to the ON position. If the

Enclosure is connected to a host computer that is running Windows ME or above, or

Mac OS 9x or higher, the operating system on the host computer will detect that the

connection is present, and install the necessary drivers. If the host computer is running

Windows 98, please follow the instructions listed in the next section, titled Driver

Installation.

If you are installing an optical drive, such as a CD/DVD-ROM drive etc., you may be

required to install software that is specific to the drive. If this is the case, please ensure

you have the files available from the drive manufacturer. For further information on this

step, please consult the documentation that accompanied the optical drive.

Driver Installation

If the host computer to which SAT5210U2E is connected is running Windows 98, additional

driver installation is required for the operating system to recognize that a USB device has

been connected.

To install the necessary drivers, insert the Driver CD (included) into the CD/DVD-ROM

drive:

1. When the Add New Hardware Wizard

appears, please click on Next.

2. Select Search for the best driver for

your device (Recommended) and click

on Next.

Instruction Manual

4. Once Windows has located the necessary

file, click on Next.

3. You will be asked to specify the location of

the Windows 98 driver. Please ensure that

Specify a location and CD-ROM drive are

selected (with checkmarks) and click on

Browse to locate the driver file

(D:\JM20336_Win98 driver), where D:

designates the CD/DVD-ROM drive. Once

the file has been located, click on Next.

5. Once Windows finishes installing the

software that your hardware device

requires, click on Finish to conclude

installation.
