Install the converter
Warning! Drives and converters should be handled carefully,
especially when they're transported. If you're not careful with your
drives, you may lose data as a result. Always handle storage devices
with caution. Make sure that you're properly grounded by wearing
an anti-static strap when you install any computer component. If an
anti-static strap isn't available, touch a large, grounded metal surface
for several seconds to discharge any built-up static electricity.
1. Place the provided standoffs into the installation holes on your
development board.
2. To affix the standoffs in place, screw the provided nuts onto the
standoff threads on the reverse side of your development board.
3. Line up the Installation holes on the converter with the standoffs
affixed to your development board.
4. Insert the provided screws into the Installation holes on the
converter and into the standoffs, and tighten them in place.
5. Connect the provided USB-A to Micro-B cable to the USB 2.0 port
on the converter and to the USB port on your development board.
6. Use a standard 7-pin SATA cable (sold separately) to connect your
SATA drive to the SATA port on the converter.
Note: SATA only provides a data solution, so you will have to use an
additional source (for example, a power supply or external power
adapter) to power your drive.
