Notes

:

Make sure that you have already installed a hard drive
into the enclosure before you connect your enclosure
to your computer.

For new hard drives, you need to initialize and partition
your hard drive before it will appear in Windows
Explorer or on your Mac desktop. Refer to your hard
drive manufacturer's documentation or see “Creating
A New Partition” on page 6.

For optimal performance, make sure that your laptop
or PC has USB 3.0 ports. If your computer does not have
USB 3.0 capability, you can plug the USB 3.0 cable into
any available USB 2.0 port.

To connect the enclosure to your computer:

1

Plug the power cord into the enclosure, then

plug the AC power adapter into an AC power

outlet.
