Connect Fusion D400Q to SATA Host Controller Card

This section describes the connection of the Fusion D400Q to your
computer’s SATA host controller card. If you intend to connect the
D400Q to a USB or FireWire port on your computer, skip to “Connect
Fusion D400Q to FireWire or USB Port” on the next page.

Note: Your

Fusion D400Q’s port layout may be different than what is pictured in this
guide
.

1. Connect the supplied locking eSATA data cable between the

SATA in port on the enclosure and the SATA host controller in
your computer;

verify the connectors are plugged in securely

(Figure 5). Skip to “Finish Setup” on the next page.

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.
