2.Apply your thumbs to the side of the case and open the cover. In the same manner, open the cover on the other side. (Caution: Be careful not to pinch your fingers.)

<Notes on handling a hard disk>

•A hard disk is a high-precision device. Do not apply any impact to the disk when and after you install it in the caddy. Do not leave the disk near a device that generates a strong magnetic field. Choose a level and stable surface for installation. Be careful not to injure yourself.

Fostex is not liable for any malfunction or damage to the hard disk caused by mishandling.

•You need to set the DIP (Jumper) switch on the hard disk to “Master” before you install it into the caddy. If the switch is set to “Slave,” the hard disk will not function correctly.

Refer to the instruction manual that came with your hard disk for more information on the DIP (Jumper) switch setting.
