Step 4
For Hard Drive installation, connect the LED
activity light cable from the front of the Drive
Kit to its connector located towards the back of
the drive kit. Gently place the hard drive on
top of the black cable between the rails that
we have in the bottom of the drive kit. For
Optical Drive Installations, pop out the front
bezel and slide your drive in.
Connect the power supply cable from the drive
kit into the hard drive or optical drive you are
installing.
Step 1
Remove the black/grey plastic shell from the
Drive Kit case by pulling it away from the front
of the drive case.
Step 2
Remove the metal protective shield from the
top of the Drive Kit’s internal module by sliding
it away from the front of the drive case.
Step 3
Set the Hard Drive or CD ROM drive’s jumper to “MASTER” or single drive
setting (Western Digital). For more information about jumper settings refer to
the documentation of the drive you are installing.
Step 5
Connect the flat ribbon cable to the drive.
NOTE: The red line on the ribbon must be
facing toward the power connector of the drive
and for the end connected to the drive kit, the
red line must be on the side closest to the out-
side casing of the drive kit.
Step 6
With the provided screws, mount the hard drive or cd-rom in place. For a
hard drive this would be done from the bottom of the Drive kit. For CD
ROM’s, you need to secure it with the supplied screws from the sides of
the drive kit.
Step 7
Replace the metal protective shield on the top of the Drive Kits internal
module by sliding it towards the front of the drive case. Secure the metal
plate with the supplied screws.
Step 8
Replace the shell on the Drive Kit case by slid-
ing in the black/grey plastic. Please secure it
with the screws supplied.
Step 9
Plug the power cable to the Drive Kit case.
After you have done this, plug the remaining
end of the cable into a surge protected power
source. Take note of the green on/off switch
in the back of the Drive Kit.
Step 10
The physical assembly of your drive kit is complete. Read the instructions
below to install the software before you connect the USB 2.0 or FireWire
cable between your computer and your drive kit for the first time. Now
insert the Drive Kit CD.
USB 2.0 Drive Kit Software

to install the driver. If you do not have a USB 2.0 host card your USB 2.0
Drive Kit will run at USB 1.1 speeds.

USB 2.0 at this time your Mac will run at USB 1.1 speeds.

98 SE update. For Windows ME/2000/XP no software installation is

Step 11
Once the software has been properly installed, turn on your drive kit
(green switch in the back), plug one end of the USB 2.0 or 1394 cable int
the Drive case. With the computer running, plug the remaining end of the
cable into your computer’s available 1394/FireWire port for PYRO 1394
D R I V E K I T users or a USB 2.0 Port/USB 1.1 Port for USB 2.0 Drive Kit owne
If all the software was installed correctly, your drive kit should mount at th

mount properly.
