How to Use
Connecting the Hard Drive
Once the enclosure has been attached to a computer, and the enclosure has been
recognized by the operating system, the drive will be accessible as though it were
installed within the system.
Prior to using the drive, it will need to be formatted according to your operating
system requirements. To format your newly attached hard drive, or create partitions,
please consult the documentation that accompanied your operating system at the
time of purchase.
LED Indicator
The hard drive enclosure offers an LED indicator, to enable you to monitor drive
activity. When the enclosure is powered, the LED will illuminate. While the hard drive
is being accessed, the LED will blink. Do not remove the enclosure from the host
computer while the LED is flashing, as it could damage the drive or the enclosure,
resulting in data loss.
