Installation

Please Note: These instructions require that users open their
notebook computer for modication, and assume a general
knowledge of computer installation procedures. If you are
unfamiliar with the terms used, or procedures described, please
contact a computer professional for assistance.

Warning! Be sure that you are properly grounded before opening
your computer case or touching any of the contents of the
computer. StarTech.com recommends that you wear an anti-static
strap when installing any computer component. If an anti-static
strap is unavailable, discharge yourself of any static electricity
build-up by touching a large grounded metal surface (such as the
computer case) for several seconds.

1. Open the computer, exposing the SATA data and power
connections. Typically, these connectors will already be attached
to the factory installed hard drive.

2. Remove the (installed) hard drive from the computer, by
disconnecting the power and data connections mentioned in
step #1.

3. Connect the power and data connectors provided by the
notebook computer to the SATA power and data connectors
on SAT2CF, and fasten the adapter to the notebook. Once the
notebook case has been closed, power on the computer. The
inserted Compact Flash card will be recognized as a bootable
hard drive.
