Hold the hard drive tray in one hand with the PATA/IDE connector (the
connector that is furthest from the plastic end cap where you connect the
cables) away from your body. Now, with the label side up grab the sides
of the hard drive with the other hand set drive into the tray with the PATA/
IDE gold pins away from your body. Carefully slide the hard drive by
placing your thumb on the back edge and pushing it towards the aligning
the gold pins with the black connector facing away from your body until
it is completely seated. The sidewalls of the hard drive tray will act as a
guide, properly aligning the gold pins (PATA/IDE) with the black socket
and ensuring a proper connection. On PATA/IDE hard drives, if parts of
the pins are still visible, the drive is not completely seated.
For Upgrades Proceed to Step 4. To permanently mount your old hard
drive proceed to Step 3.
Step 3 Turn over the hard drive tray and secure the hard drive with the four
screws.
Step 4 Once the drive is secured, slide it back into the tray. Make sure the
Apricorn logo is facing up and the hard drive tray slides into the
enclosure with the label side of the hard drive facing up. When the tray
completely slides in you will hear the latch snap shut as the hard drive
tray locks into place.
Step 5 Connect the USB Mini end into the open port on the EZ Upgrade and
then connect the other side of the cable into an open USB port on your
computer. (diagram 4)
