Installing a Hard Drive︱
The StoreJet 35 Ultra hard drive enclosure only works with 3.5” SATA Hard Disk Drives.
Installing a Hard Drive
If you purchased a Transcend StoreJet 35 Ultra hard drive enclosure that does not have a SATA hard disk
drive already installed, please read this section for installation instructions. If a hard drive is already installed,
you can skip to the “Connecting to a Computer” section.
1. Remove all eight screws from the back and front of the StoreJet 35 Ultra, then remove both the front and
back metal covers.
2. Place 3.5” SATA hard drive (face-up) into the enclosure so that it lays flat, with its SATA connectors
facing the StoreJet 35 Ultra’s circuit board. Assure that the SATA connectors on the hard drive and the
circuit board are aligned properly.
3. Connect the hard drive to the StoreJet 35 Ultra by gently sliding it towards the circuit board’s SATA
connectors. Do NOT connect the hard drive at an angle, which may damage it.

4. Carefully turn the StoreJet 35Ultra on its side, making sure the hard drive does not fall out. Secure the
hard drive with the provided mounting screws.
5. Reattach the front cover and back cover and replace the eight case screws.
