Support Note:

The supplied Sonnet locking eSATA cable is

compatible with all eSATA ports and provides a far more

secure connection when used with Sonnet drive enclosures and host
controller cards with the matching connector. If necessary, you may
remove the locking mechanism from the connector by removing the
screws securing the two halves.
