Instruction Manual

How to Use

Connecting the Hard Drive

Once the drive has been installed in the drive bay, the drivers will install automatically,

and the inserted drive will be accessible as though it were installed within the system.

Note: some operating systems may require that the system be scanned for hardware

changes from within device manager, for the newly connected drive(s) to be

recognized.

Prior to using the drive, it will need to be formatted according to your operating

system requirements.

Refer to Initializing the Hard Drive.

LED Indicator

The HSB2535SATBK oers 3.5in LED indicators, to enable you to 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

The drive should be uninstalled from device manager, or unmounted using third party

hot swap software.

Note: Removing the connected drive while it is active in the system could result in

losing or corrupting data stored on the drive.

Mac OS X

To safely disconnect the attached drive from the host computer, close any windows

listing the contents of the removable drive. Once all windows are closed, click on the

icon for the drive on the desktop, and drag it to the Trash Can icon on the desktop.

Allow 5 seconds before physically removing the enclosure/drive from the computer.

Instruction Manual

Initializing the Hard Drive

1. If the SATA Hard Drive is blank it may need to be initialized and formatted before

use. From the main Windows desktop, right-click on “My Computer” (“Computer” in

Vista/ 7 / 8), then select Manage. In the new Computer Management window, select

Disk Management from the left window panel.

2. A dialog window should automatically appear, asking you to initialize the drive.

Depending on the version of Windows, it will give you the option of either creating

an “MBR” or“GPT” disk. GPT (GUID partition) is required for drives larger than 2TB but

is not compatible with some older operating systems, while MBR is supported by

newer and older operating systems.

3. Once initialized, locate the Disk that says it is “Unallocated” (check the listed hard

drive capacity to conrm it’s the correct hard drive) and then right-click in the

section that says “Unallocated” and select “New Partition”.

4. Several on screen prompts will follow walking you through the steps to create the

partition. Follow these prompts to complete partition creation.
