Installation
WARNING! Hard drives require careful handling, especially when being transported. If you are not careful, lost data may result. Always handle hard drives and storage devices with caution.
Hardware Installation
1.Connect the external power adapter from the hard drive docking station to an AC power outlet.
2.Insert 2.5” or 3.5” hard drive(s) into the top loading slot(s). Make sure that the connectors on the hard drive are facing the same corner of the slot that has a cutout in the door. The label on the hard drive should face the front of the SATA docking station.
3.SATDOCK4U2E: Connect the HDD1/2 bays using either a single USB cable (USB1) or separate eSATA cables (eSATA1/2) to a computer(s). Connect the HDD3/4 bays using either a single USB cable (USB2) or separate eSATA cables (eSATA3/4) to the same or different computer(s).
SATDOCK4U3E: Connect the included USB cable or eSATA cable from the hard drive docking station to an available USB or eSATA port on the computer system. The computer can be on or off.
NOTE: If using eSATA, please note that the eSATA port on the host computer system must provide Port Multiplier support. If the eSATA port does not offer Port Multiplier support, only one of the installed SATA drives will be accessible.
4.Press the power buttons on the top of the hard drive docking station for each of the bays that contain a hard drive. The Power LED around the power buttons should light up.
5.To remove the hard drive, make sure it is currently not being accessed by the computer and the Activity LED is not flashing, then unmount or uninstall the disk drive from the operating system (see documentation for your operating system). Press the appropriate power button to turn off the hard drive and wait for the drive to power down. Press the drive ejection button on the top of the hard drive dock to the release the drive, then pull the drive from the slot.
Driver Installation
No driver installation is required for the supported operating systems, as this hard drive dock is natively supported, so the drivers are already installed.
