DuoGB800™

User's Manual

Revised July 2, 2007

Thank you for purchasing the DuoGB800 dual hard disk drive

enclosure. When purchased with drives already installed, the

DuoGB800 is plug & play. Simply plug in the AC cord then plug in one

of the enclosed cables to your host computer and you are ready to go.

Your order should have specified how the drives are formatted. If not,

simply format each drive according to the process provided by your

operating system. Complete instructions are available through the

HELP menu of your operating system. As long as you have the latest

updates for your OS, no drivers are required to use the DuoGB800.

For full capacity with two drives, you will need to use FireWire. To get

full benefit of FireWire 800 you will need Windows XP or Mac OS X.

Hard Drive Installation

Turn the DuoGB800 over and rest the top on a soft, non-abrasive surface. Remove the four

screws that hold the feet and bottom of the case. Set aside in a safe place for re-assembly. Slide

the case towards the back and off of the DuoGB800.

Extend the ribbon cable and Power Connectors out from inside of the case. Set the first hard

drive jumpers to Master. (Check the manufacturers instructions, as some hard drives have more

than one setting that may be used.) Attach the inner most power connector to the first hard drive.

Then plug the Gray IDE connector into the drive.
