Hardware Installation
1.Connect the external power adapter from the hard drive dock to a power outlet.
2.Insert a 2.5” or 3.5” hard drive into the top loading slot. 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 hard drive dock.

NOTE: A USB 2.0
4.Press the power button on the top of the hard drive dock. The Power LED under the power button should light up.
5.To remove the hard drive, make sure it is currently not being accessed by the computer then unmount or uninstall the disk drive from the operating system (see documentation for your operating system). Press the power button to turn off the hard drive dock and wait for the drive to power down. Press the drive ejection button on the top of the hard drive dock the release the drive. Then pull the drive from the slot.
