Hardware Installation
1. Plug the power and USB cable from the rear side of the hard drive dock to a power outlet and
the USB port on the computer respectively.
2. If connecting a SATA hard drive, simply insert the drive, into the top loading slot on the hard
drive dock. Make sure the connectors on the hard drive face the same corner as the cut-out
in the drive slot door.
3. If connecting a 3.5” IDE hard drive, attach the short IDE ribbon cable and the separate LP4
molex power connector to the front side of the hard drive dock. Then attach the 3.5” hard
drive to the IDE cable and LP4 connector.
If using a 2.5” IDE hard drive with 44-pin connector, attach the included 40-pin to 44-pin
ribbon cable with integrated LP4 connector to the front of the hard drive dock. Then attach
the 2.5” hard drive to the ribbon cable.
4. Once the hard drives(s) are connected, press the power button on the top of the docking
station.
5. The hard drive(s) should be automatically detected by the operating system.

Using the Hard Drive Dock
Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7

(“Computer” in Vista), then select Manage. In the new Computer Management window, select
Disk Management from the left window panel.
Locate the Disk that says it is “Unallocated” (check hard drive capacity to conrm it’s the correct
hard drive) and then right-click in the section that says “Unallocated” and select “New Partition”.

The New Partition Wizard will appear. Follow the instructions in the wizard to complete setting
up the drive. Once complete, the Disk should show up as “Healthy” with a drive letter assigned
(ie. E:). This drive letter should now appear within “My Computer”.
If you are installing a hard drive that already has data on it, then after plugging it in, the drive
should automatically show up with a drive letter assigned within “My Computer”. You can verify
or change the drive letter through Disk Management, as outlined above.
