Installation
WARNING: Hard drives require careful handling, especially when
being transported. If you are not careful with your hard disk, lost data
may result. Always handle your hard drive and storage device with
caution.
Hardware Installation
1.
Make sure the computer system is powered off and unplugged from
the power source before attempting any hardware installation.
2.
Locate an available external 3.5" floppy drive bay on the
computer case and install the Mobile Rack appropriately. See
the documentation for your computer case for installation details.
Mounting screws are included, if necessary.
3.
Connect two 7-pin SATA cable from the back of the Mobile Rack to
the SATA port in the computer system.
4.
Connect the 15-pin SATA power cable from the computer power
supply to the Mobile Rack.
5.
Pull on the metal tabs/hinge on the front of the Mobile Rack to open
the drive bay doors. Insert a SATA hard drive into the drive bay
(label facing up) and close the door behind it, making sure it latches
properly.
OPTIONAL: Use the included keys to lock the front door to prevent
accidental/unauthorized access to the hard drive(s).
6.
Power up the computer and use the hard drive(s) as if connected
directly to the SATA controller/motherboard.
Driver Installation
No driver installation is required for any operating system, as this
Mobile Rack is a pass through device, so only the hard drives are seen
by the computer system.
