Installation
WARNING! Computer equipment can be severely damaged by static
electricity. Be sure that you are properly grounded before opening
your computer case or touching your hard drive. StarTech.com
recommends that you wear an anti-static strap when installing any
computer component. If an anti-static strap is unavailable, discharge
yourself of any static electricity build-up by touching a large grounded
metal surface (such as the computer case) for several seconds. Be sure
to handle your hard drive carefully and consult your hard drive and
laptop manufacturer for details on how to remove the drive.
1. Connect the power cable to the adapter, if it is not already
connected. The adapter has a "B" (for black wire) on one side and an
"R" (for red wire) on the other to help you connect the power cable.
2. Connect the female end of the adapter to your notebook hard
drive making sure that Pin 1 on the hard drive is aligned with Pin
1 on the adapter. (Pin 1 on the adapter is the labeled pin furthest
from the power connector)
WARNING! Connecting the adapter to the drive incorrectly can
severely damage or destroy your hard drive. The location of Pin 1 on
the hard drive depends on the model of hard drive you are using. If
you are unsure of the location of Pin 1 on your hard drive, contact
the hard drive manufacturer before attempting to connect the drive.
3. Make sure that your computer is turned off and that you are
grounded. Remove the cover from your PC.
4. Attach an internal IDE connector to the male end of the adapter,
making sure that the red stripe is on Pin 1. (Pin 1 on the adapter is
the labeled pin furthest from the power connector.)
5. Attach an internal power cable to the power connector on the
adapter. The connector is formed so that it is difficult to connect
the connector incorrectly.

Configuring Your Adapter
If the drive is the only drive on the IDE controller, you will not need
to set any jumpers on your hard drive. If there is another drive on the
controller, you will need to set the Master/Slave jumper pins on your
hard drive. Consult your hard drive documentation for Master/Slave
pin location and configuration.
