Using the HDD PortaCruiser
Loading the Hard Drives
IDE Drives
1.Use an IDE cable (not included) to connect the source/target hard drive’s IDE port to the HDD PortaCruiser’s Source/Target IDE port.
2.Use an IDE cable (not included) to connect the source/target hard drive’s power port to the HDD PortaCruiser’s Source/Target port.
SATA Drives
1.Position the HDD PortaCruiser on a flat surface with enough area around it to place the source/target hard drive.
2.Align the source/target hard drive’s SATA port with the HDD PortaCruiser’s SATA connector.
3.Slide the source/target hard drive against the HDD PorrtaCruiser so that the SATA connection is made.
Note: If you are duplicating, the hard disk drive you are copying goes on the side labeled “Source”, and the hard disk drive you are copying to goes on the side labeled “Target”.
Note: When both the IDE and SATA connectors on the Target (or Source) side are connected to hard drives, the HDD PortaCruiser will only recognize the SATA drive.
