Installing a Hard Drive
If you purchased a StoreJet ™ 2.5 (TS0GSJ25R/S/B) that does not have a Hard Disk Drive already
installed, please read this section, otherwise you can skip to the “ Driver Installation ” section.
1. Open the StoreJet ™ 2.5 by removing the two screws from either side of the top cover, as indicated in
the diagram.
Figure 2. Remove the screws from the top cover
2. Remove the cover revealing a control board adapter; this converts the IDE interface connector of the
hard drive to a Mini USB 2.0 interface.

3. It is IMPORTANT! to properly line up and then plug in the IDE connector pins on the hard drive to the
adapter sockets. Do NOT force the pins into their sockets and do NOT insert the hard disk at an angle;
otherwise, you may damage the IDE connector pins. If a pin on the hard drive gets bent, do not panic;
simply straighten the pin gently using a pair of tweezers.
