Before you install the Drive, we recommend that you
restart your computer or shut it down and connect the
Drive with the computer turned off.
1. The pins of the power cable's plugs are arranged such
that the plugs can be inserted only one way. Plug
one end of the power cable into a power port
on the PCI card. (If your PCI card has two
power ports, it doesn't matter which port
you use.) If the plug will not go in, check
that the orientation is correct and try
again. Do not force the plug or you may
damage the Drive.
2. Plug the other end of the power cable into
the Drive's power port.
3. Plug one end of the SATA cable into a SATA
port on the PCI card. The SATA connectors
are keyed so they will only go in one way.
(If your PCI card has two SATA ports, it
doesn't matter which port you use.)
3. Plug the other end of the SATA cable
into the SATA port on the back of the Drive.
4. Press the power switch located on the back
of the Drive. The Drive will power up and mount to
your computer's operating system.
