Connecting the enclosure to your
computer
Note: Connect the hard drive enclosure to your
computer before inserting the software CD into your
optical drive.
To connect the enclosure to your computer:
• Connect the included USB Y cable to the
enclosure and to your computer. Connect both
USB-A type connectors to the computer to
make sure that the enclosure has sufficient
power.
The operating system automatically detects
and sets up the new drive.
If the drive is correctly detected, a new drive
letter is assigned to the enclosure.
• For Macintosh computers, the new drive
letter appears on the desktop.
• For PCs, the Safely Remove Hardware icon
appears on your taskbar.
Note for Windows users: If you do not see an
additional drive in your system, you must format the
new drive. See Windows online help for more
information.
Notes for Macintosh users:
Select Disk Utilities from
the Utilities folder, then select the external enclosure
and format the drive to meet your requirements.
