Connecting the enclosure to your computer

Notes:

•Make sure you have installed the hard drive into the enclosure before connecting the enclosure to your computer.

•A new hard drive must be initialized and partitioned before it will appear in Windows Explorer or on your Mac desktop. Refer to your hard drive manufacturer’s documentation, or see “Formatting the hard drive in Windows” on page 4.

•Connect the hard drive enclosure to your computer before inserting the software CD into your optical drive.

To connect the enclosure to your computer:

•Connect the Mini B type connector on the USB Y cable (provided) to the enclosure, then plug the other end of the cable to your computer. Connect both USB-A type connectors to the computer to make sure that the enclosure has sufficient power. A good rule of thumb would be to use one connector initially, then if your computer does not recognize the drive, plug in the second connector.
