Notes On Operating The Enclosure - Onnto SATA to USB 2.0 3.5” HDD Enclosure Kit User Manual

SATA 3.5" HDD Enclosure User Manual

Notes on Operating the Enclosure

1) Any cable (eSATA, FireWire800, or USB 2.0) inserted before the enclosure is
powered on has priority over the other cables and will be the primary
connection method, i.e.: If the enclosure is connected via FireWire 800 before
powering on the enclosure, data will be transferred via FireWire800.
2) In the unlikely event that the SATA-USB 2.0/FireWire800/eSATA 3.5" HDD
Enclosure Kit is connected to a computer host via all three connectors
simultaneously, eSATA will take priority over the other connections. The
connection hierarchy, applicable to every combination of multiple cable
connections in order of priority is, eSATA>FireWire800>USB 2.0.
3) The enclosure should only be connected to a computer via one interface at a
time. Connection of the enclosure to a computer via two or more interfaces is
not recommended.
4) For USB 2.0/FireWire800/eSATA 3.5" HDD Enclosure Kit, the 6-pin to 9-pin
1394 cable included in the package is for connection of the enclosure to a
FireWire port in a computer host.
5) Vertical, rather than horizontal (flat), placement of the USB
2.0/FireWire800/eSATA 3.5" HDD Enclosure Kit is strongly recommended to
ensure optimum heat dissipation, and prolong the life of the enclosure and
installed HDD.
