Hardware Installation
1. Plug the power and USB cable from the rear side of the hard drive dock to a power outlet and
the USB port on the computer respectively.
2. If connecting a SATA hard drive, simply insert the drive, into the top loading slot on the hard
drive dock. Make sure the connectors on the hard drive face the same corner as the cut-out
in the drive slot door.
3. If connecting a 3.5” IDE hard drive, attach the short IDE ribbon cable and the separate LP4
molex power connector to the front side of the hard drive dock. Then attach the 3.5” hard
drive to the IDE cable and LP4 connector.
If using a 2.5” IDE hard drive with 44-pin connector, attach the included 40-pin to 44-pin
ribbon cable with integrated LP4 connector to the front of the hard drive dock. Then attach
the 2.5” hard drive to the ribbon cable.
4. Once the hard drives(s) are connected, press the power button on the top of the docking
station.
5. The hard drive(s) should be automatically detected by the operating system.
Driver Installation
Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7, Mac OS 9.2 or later or Linux
No driver installation is required for these operating systems, as this hard drive dock is natively
supported, so the drivers are already installed.
