Powering On Enclosure:
Note: Be sure the Ruby cipher key is inserted into the drive enclosure prior to turning on the power of the drive cradle. The hard drive will not be detected by the computer if the power to the drive cradle is turned on without the Cipher key. Under such condition, the power on the drive cradle will have to be turned off and turned back on again with the Cipher key already inserted into the drive enclosure in order to detect the hard drive.
To power on the enclosure, move the switch located at the front of the enclosure to the EXT mode. When the switch is turned on, the LED light beside it would light up to indicate power and also drive access.
Note: There are no drivers needed to use the eSATA cable as long as the drivers are installed for the Serial ATA Controller card/chip. It is plug and play.
