Installation

WARNING! Hard drives and storage docks 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. Be sure that you

are properly grounded by wearing an anti-static strap when handling computer

components or discharge yourself of any static electricity build-up by touching a large

grounded metal surface (such as the computer case) for several seconds.

Hardware Installation

1. Ensure your computer system is powered down, and the power cable has been

disconnected from the Power Supply.

2. Open your computer case (refer to the computer user manual for details), and place

the 3.5in SATA/SAS HDD Backplane into four available 5.25” slots, lining up the side

installation holes on the HSB4SATSASBA (pictured below), with installation holes on

the 5.25” slot inside the computer.

Instruction Manual

3. Hold the HSB4SATSASBA into place by lining up the screw holes on HSB4SATSASBA

with the corresponding mounting holes in your 5.25in bays. Next, x the

HSB4SATSASBA to your 5.25in bays by screwing 4 of the included screws into any of

the installation holes on both side of the 5.25” bay (8 screws in total).

4. Connect the 4x SATA cables (4x included) from an available SATA host port on your

motherboard to the SATA data connector ports on the back of the HSB4SATSASBA.

5. Connect 2x SATA Power connectors from your power supply to the SATA power

connector ports on the back of the HSB4SATSASBA.

Note: For optimal performance, ensure each SATA power connector is on a dierent

power rail. Failure to do so may result in power disruption while swapping drives.

Drive section for instructions.

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.

Instruction Manual

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.

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.
