Connect Fusion R400QR5 to Computer and Power Outlet

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

400, USB), connect the Fusion R400QR5 to your computer. For
maximum performance, connect the R400QR5 to a SATA host
controller card.

2. Connect the supplied power cable between the Fusion R400QR5

and a grounded wall outlet or power strip;

verify the cable is

plugged in securely.

WARNING:

When inserting drive modules into the enclosure,

do not force the levers closed. If a lever does not close easily,

remove and reinsert the module, and then push the lever in again.

WARNING:

When securing the trays to the hard drives, you

must verify the screw heads are flush with the tray. Otherwise,

a screw may catch on the enclosure and prevent you from removing it.

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.
