DATA while the smaller, 4 pin connector is for Drive Power. Plug in the Drive Power connector. This connector has cut corners and must be installed with the correct orientation. Make sure the power switches are in the off position and that the LED’s in the switch box are not illuminated.

Next plug in the larger IDE Data connector located on the Cable Adapter. This 40 pin connector is keyed and can only be inserted in one direction. Plug the USB Connector into the computer and turn the power switch on.

Connecting IDE 2.5” Hard Drives

2.5” IDE Mechanisms

The 2.5” IDE Drive has one connector on the rear. The 44 pin connector is IDE DATA and IDE Power combined. This connector has a blocked socket and must be installed in the correct orientation. Match the blocked socket with the missing pin on the drive mechanism.

2.5” IDE Drive mechanisms get their power from the USB port. In this case, the Universal Power Supply is not needed.

Using the Dual Output Power Supply

The Dual Output Power Supply is capable of supplying power to all types of IDE and SATA drives.

The SATA Drive Power connector plugs into any SATA Drive Mechanism. The “L” type connector must be oriented correctly before it is plugged in. Power should only be supplied to the SATA Drive Mechanism after all the cables have been connected including the SATA Data Cable from the Cable Adapter.

The IDE Drive Power connector plugs into any standard IDE, ATAPI, ATA, or SCSI type of drive mechanism. Power should only be supplied to the Drive Mechanism after the Data Cable has been connected to the Cable Adapter.

Formatting & Partitioning Drives

Formatting & Partitioning

After the Cable Adapter and drivers have been plugged in the next step is to format and partition your drive mechanism. This procedure is different with every operating system. In Macintosh, it is called “Disk Utility”. On a PC running windows it is called “Disk Management”.

No matter which operating system you are running the basics are still the same. The drives will need to be formatted and partitioned before they can be used.
