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.

Single Drive Installation

1. Locate the black stripe on the Flat Flex (ZIF) cable for the type of hard drive being used (Toshiba/Hitachi).
2. Gently lift the ZIF Connector lever on the hard drive you wish to use, and insert the black striped end of
the Flat Flex Cable. Once the cable is seated properly, gently press down on the lever until the cable is
locked in place.
NOTE: The included ZIF cables are specially designed to work with either a Toshiba or Hitachi ZIF
connector. Make sure to use the properly matched Toshiba or Hitachi cable.
