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 storage devices with caution.  
Hardware Installation  
1. Connect the external power adapter from the hard drive dock to a  
power outlet.  
2. Insert a 2.5” or 3.5” hard drive into the top loading slot. Make sure  
that the connectors on the hard drive are facing the same corner of  
the slot that has a cutout in the door. The label on the hard drive  
should face the front of the hard drive dock.  
3. Connect the included USB cable from the hard drive dock to an  
available USB port on the computer system. The computer can be  
on or off.  
NOTE: A USB 2.0 A-B cable could also be used on the hard drive  
dock.  
4. Press the power button on the top of the hard drive dock. The Power  
LED under the power button should light up.  
5. To remove the hard drive, make sure it is currently not being  
accessed by the computer then unmount or uninstall the disk drive  
from the operating system (see documentation for your operating  
system). Press the power button to turn off the hard drive dock and  
wait for the drive to power down. Press the drive ejection button on  
the top of the hard drive dock the release the drive. Then pull the  
drive from the slot.  
Driver Installation  
Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7 and 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.  
Locate the Disk that says it is “Unallocated” (check hard drive capacity  
to confirm it’s the correct hard drive) and then right-click in the section  
that says “Unallocated” and select “New Partition”.

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.
