Installation
WARNING! Hard drives and storage enclosures 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. Be sure that
you are properly grounded by wearing an anti-static strap when handling computer
components or discharge yourself of any static electricity build-up by touching a large
grounded metal surface (such as the computer case) for several seconds.
Hardware Installation
1. Connect the eSATA end of the adapter cable into an eSATA port on the external
storage device, while it is powered o.
NOTE: Port Multiplier support is not available, so only a single disk/volume from the
eSATA device will be detected.
2. Turn on the external storage device.
3. Connect the USB end to an available USB port on the host computer. The adapter
will operate at the native speed of the USB port (i.e. USB 2.0 port: 480 Mbps, USB 3.0
port: 5 Gbps).
NOTE: If the eSATA port on the host computer supports Hot-Plugging / Plug-and-Play
operation, the computer can be running when the cable is plugged in. Otherwise
connect the cable before turning the computer on.
4. The computer system will automatically detect the storage device and install it. No
additional driver installation is required for the adapter cable.
5. Once successfully installed, the Link LED on the adapter will light up. The external
storage device is now ready for use.
Hardware Removal
Stop the external storage device through the operating system by either unmounting
the storage volume (Mac OS) or stopping the USB device (Windows).
Once the storage device has been stopped, it can be safely turned o or the adapter
cable disconnected.
