on the cable must be properly aligned.
6. Connect the SATA power cable from the the computer or expansion chassis to the
SATA power connector on the DX115 receiving frame. Refer to Figure 4 for the
receiving frame power connector location.
NOTES: Either power connector may be used; it is not necessary to use both
when connecting power.
If your system does not accommodate the SATA power connector,
simply use the SATA-to-DC Power adapter cable (included in the
accessory bag) to connect to your system's DC power.
7. Replace any expansion boards that may have been removed earlier. Replace the
system cover according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
8. Reconnect any system or peripheral cables removed earlier.
9. Turn ON power to the computer. If the installation has been successful, and all the
cables have been properly attached, the system should boot normally. Although the
computer may not recognize the DX115 yet, the front panel display on the receiving
frame should illuminate.

system and applications software. Refer to the drive and/or computer manufacturer's
documentation for formatting information.
