2. Setup
a) Attach protective metal drive plate to your 3.5”
hard drive. (This step is optional.) The purpose
of the bottom plate is to provide protection to your
drive electronics and aid heat dissipation.
b) If erasing an IDE/PATA drive, configure the
jumpers on the rear of the drive. The drive must
be set to the Master setting. Consult the
instructions or your drive (some drives display
configuration information on the drive’s label).
c) Ensure that the Drive eRazer’s power switch is in
the OFF (0) position.
d) Connect Drive eRazer to the drive (or adapter) using
either the IDE ribbon cable for IDE drives or the
SATA data/power cable for SATA drives.
e) If using an adapter, connect the drive to the adapter.
f) Attach the power cable to Drive eRazer Ultra and
to the drive. For SATA drives, the power cable and
data cable are combined into a single SATA drive
interface.
g) Plug the AC adapter into Drive eRazer Ultra.
h) Turn on the power switch. The connected drive will
power up and Drive eRazer Ultra main menu will
appear on the LCD screen
WARNING: Ensure that Drive eRazer Ultra’s power
switch is in the OFF (0) position before connecting a drive.
