Figure 3

1. Remove the Fusion disk enclosure and drive modules from their

packaging, and place them near the computer to which the
enclosure will be connected.

2. Take one of the drive modules and push its lever release button in

until the lever pops out.

(Figure 3).

3. Carefully slide the drive module into the enclosure until its lever

starts to close, and then push the lever in until it clicks to secure
the drive module inside the enclosure

(Figure 4).

4. Repeat steps 2-3 for each remaining drive module.

Connect Fusion D400QR5 to Computer and Power Outlet

1. Using one of the supplied cables (eSATA, FireWire 800, FireWire

400, USB), connect the Fusion D400QR5 to your computer. For
maximum performance, connect the D400QR5 to a SATA host
controller card.

2. Connect the supplied power cable between the Fusion D400QR5

and a grounded wall outlet or power strip;

verify the cable is

plugged in securely.

WARNING:

When handling computer products, take care to

prevent components from being damaged by static electricity;

avoid working in carpeted areas. Handle hard drives only by their
edges and avoid touching connector traces and component pins.

WARNING:

When inserting the drive trays into the enclosure,

do not force the lever closed. If the lever does not close

easily, remove and reinsert the tray, and then push the lever in again.

Support Note:

The supplied Sonnet locking eSATA cable is

compatible with all eSATA ports and provides a far more

secure connection when used with Sonnet drive enclosures and host
controller cards with the matching connector. If necessary, you may
remove the locking mechanism from the connector by removing the
screws securing the two halves.
