Vertical Placement

Most likely, your Drive was packaged with the zinc alloy
stand attached to the Drive case, so you can place the Drive
on your desktop vertically right out of the box. However, if
the stand was not already attached, follow the steps below:
1. If the screws and nuts are not already affixed to the stand,
insert the two screws through the two holes from the
underside of the stand. Screw a nut onto the end of each
screw just far enough to hold the nut to the screw. Do
not tighten the nuts.
2. With both screws and nuts in place, push down on each
screw head to make sure the screws extend through the
holes as far as they will go.
3. Attach the stand to the Drive case by sliding the nuts
through the groove in the Drive case, entering from the
backside of the case. You cannot slide the stand in from
the front of the case. The stand is symmetrical so it does
not matter which end you insert first. Once the nuts are
in the groove,
position the stand
so that it is cen-
tered with the
Drive case.
3. While holding the stand in place with one hand, use a
screwdriver with the proper type and size head to tighten
the screws. Make sure the stand is firmly secured to the
Drive case.

Horizontal Placement

Do not discard the stand. Your Drive's Model and Serial num-
bers are printed on the label affixed to the underside of the
stand. In the event that you need warranty service, you will
need to send us the stand along with the Drive itself.

Removing the stand

Use a screw driver with the proper type and size head to
loosen the two screws located on the underside of the
stand. Loosen the screws just enough so that you can easily
slide the stand out of the groove. Keep the nuts attached to
the screws. Store the stand in a safe place.

Affixing the rubber feet to the Drive case

It is highly recommended you use the supplied rubber feet
for horizontal placement and stacking of Drives. The feet
help keep the Drive securely in place, and they also prevent
the Drive case from possibly scuffing your desktop.
1. Decide wether you want the Power-Data Light/
PushButton to be located on the left or right side when
the Drive is in the horizontal position, and select the
appropriate side on which to affix the feet.
2. Remove one of the rubber feet from the
paper backing and carefully position the
foot inside one of the four oblong
indentations, with the adhesive
side down. Once the foot is
properly positioned, press
down firmly to secure it in
place. Repeat for the other
three feet.
