Drive Installation and Enclosure Setup
1. Remove the Fusion 400 from its packaging, and place the enclo-
sure near the computer to which it will be connected.
2. Remove a drive tray from the enclosure by pulling on its lever,
and then sliding it out. Lay it on a flat, level surface (Figure 3).
WARNING:
When handling computer products, take care to
prevent components from being damaged by static electricity;
avoid working in carpeted areas. Handle hard drives only by their
edges and avoid touching connector traces and component pins.
3. Remove a SATA drive from its packaging and set it in the drive
tray label-side up, with the drive's connectors facing the rear of
the tray (Figure 4).
4. Using six of the supplied screws, secure the drive to the drive tray
(Figure 4).
5. Carefully insert the drive tray into the enclosure until it stops,
and then push the lever in to secure the drive and tray inside the
enclosure (Figure 5).
6. Repeat steps 2-5 for additional drives.
Support Note:
If your Serial ATA host controller card has
internal SATA connectors instead of eSATA connectors, you
must use cables different than those supplied with Fusion 400. Sonnet
strongly suggests you use high-quality shielded external cables with
eSATA connectors on one end, and SATA I (internal) connectors on
the other.
7. Connect the supplied eSATA data cables between the enclosure
and the SATA host controller in your computer; verify the con-
nectors are plugged in securely (Figure 6).
8. Connect the supplied power cable between the Fusion 400 and a
grounded wall outlet or power strip; verify the cable is plugged
in securely.
9. Push the switch on the back of the enclosure to the ON position,
and then power on your computer.
10. Format the drives installed in the Fusion 400 according to your
needs; refer to your operating system's software guide or help sec-
tion for more information.
