Connecting Your Hard Drive

Before starting the EZ Gig III software,

please ensure that your new hard drive

is connected to your notebook’s USB

port via the EZ Upgrade. EZ Gig III

automatically verifies which Apricorn

upgrade product is being used. If used

without one of Apricorn’s upgrade

products, EZ Gig III will not work.
