Drive Installation

1. Carefully align and insert the 2.5” or 3.5” SATA drive(s) you wish to dock in the

desired hard drive slot on the docking station, such that the SATA power and data

connectors on the drive are properly aligned with the corresponding connectors

inside the hard drive slot.

2. Press the power button that corresponds with the drive you would like to access.

3. Once the drives have been installed and the docking station has been powered on,

the computer Operating System will automatically recognize the drive(s) and it will

be accessible as though it were installed in the system internally.

Note: If your computer fails to automatically recognize your drive it is likely your

drive has not been initialized or formatted correctly. (See Drive Initialization in

Software operation for further instructions.)

Drive Removal

WARNING! Ensure your hard drive(s) has been disconnected/ejected from your

computer operating system prior to attempting drive removal. Failure to properly

disconnect your drive may result in lost data or drive damage. (See Disconnecting the

Hard Drive in Docking Station Operation for further instructions.)
1. Turn off the drive by pressing the HDD Power/Activity button on the docking station

that corresponds with the drive you wish to remove.

2. Press the eject button that corresponds with the drive you wish to remove.
3. Carefully grasp the ejected drive and lift it upwards until the bottom of the drive has

completely risen above the hard drive slot.
