2.Setup
a)Attach protective metal drive plate to your 3.5” hard drive. (This step is optional.) The purpose
of the bottom plate is to provide protection to your drive electronics and aid heat dissipation.
b)If erasing an IDE/PATA drive, configure the jumpers on the rear of the drive. The drive must be set to the Master setting. Consult the instructions or your drive (some drives display configuration information on the drive’s label).
c)Ensure that the Drive eRazer’s power switch is in the OFF (0) position.
d)Connect Drive eRazer to the drive (or adapter) using either the IDE ribbon cable for IDE drives or the SATA data/power cable for SATA drives.
e)If using an adapter, connect the drive to the adapter.
f)Attach the power cable to Drive eRazer Ultra and to the drive. For SATA drives, the power cable and data cable are combined into a single SATA drive interface.
g)Plug the AC adapter into Drive eRazer Ultra.
h)Turn on the power switch. The connected drive will power up and Drive eRazer Ultra main menu will appear on the LCD screen
WARNING: Ensure that Drive eRazer Ultra’s power switch is in the OFF (0) position before connecting a drive.
3. Menu Structure/Usage of Drive eRazer
Ultra
Use the LCD and 4-button navigation interface to start erasing, adjust settings, view information about the drive and dock, or check on operational status. On the 4-button navigation interface, UP and DOWN allow scrolling through options, while ENTER selects and BACK goes back to the previous screen. When asked if you want to save a setting as the default, the ENTER button saves as default. Pressing UP or DOWN continues without saving the selection as default.
3.1Home/Start Erasing
