Installation 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. Hardware Installation 1. Place the hard drive dock on a flat surface with the drive slot facing upwards. 2. Gently insert the 2.5” SATA hard drive into the top slot. Make sure the connector on the hard drive is lined up properly with the connector inside the drive slot.
4. Connect the USB “Y” cable’s mini-B connector to the hard drive dock. Connect the primary USB connector into the host computer USB port. If the hard drive requires additional power, connect the secondary USB connector into the computer system as well. Driver Installation Secondary connector Primary connector Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7, Mac OS X, Linux No driver installation is required for these operating systems, as this hard drive dock is natively supported, so the drivers are already installed.
Using the Storage Device Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7 If you are using a brand new hard drive that does not contain any data, then you will first need to prepare the hard drive for use. From the main desktop, right-click on “My Computer” (“Computer” in Vista/7), then select Manage. In the new Computer Management window, select Disk Management from the left window panel.
The New Partition Wizard will appear. Follow the instructions in the wizard to complete setting up the drive. Once complete, the Disk should show up as “Healthy” with a drive letter assigned (i.e. E:). This drive letter should now appear within My Computer. If you are installing a hard drive that already has data on it, then after plugging it in, the drive should automatically show up with a drive letter assigned within My Computer.
