Hardware Installation  
1. Plug the power and USB cable from the rear side of the hard  
drive dock to a power outlet and the USB port on the computer  
respectively.  
2. If connecting a SATA hard drive, simply insert the drive, into the top  
loading slot on the hard drive dock. Make sure the connectors on  
the hard drive face the same corner as the cut-out in the drive slot  
door.  
3. If connecting a 3.5” IDE hard drive, attach the short IDE ribbon cable  
and the separate LP4 molex power connector to the front side of the  
hard drive dock. Then attach the 3.5” hard drive to the IDE cable  
and LP4 connector.  
If using a 2.5” IDE hard drive with 44-pin connector, attach the  
included 40-pin to 44-pin ribbon cable with integrated LP4 connector  
to the front of the hard drive dock. Then attach the 2.5” hard drive to  
the ribbon cable.  
4. Once the hard drives(s) are connected, press the power button on  
the top of the docking station.  
5. The hard drive(s) should be automatically detected by the operating  
system.  
Driver Installation  
Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7, Mac OS 9.2 or later or Linux  
No driver installation is required for these operating systems, as  
this hard drive dock is natively supported, so the drivers are already  
installed.

Using the Hard Drive Dock  
Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7  
If you are using a brand new hard drive that does not contain any data,  
then you will first need to prepare the hard drive for use. From the  
main desktop, right-click on “My Computer” (“Computer” in Vista), then  
select Manage. In the new Computer Management window, select Disk  
Management from the left window panel.  
Locate the Disk that says it is “Unallocated” (check hard drive capacity  
to confirm it’s the correct hard drive) and then right-click in the section  
that says “Unallocated” and select “New Partition”.  
The New Partition Wizard will appear. Follow the instructions in the  
wizard to complete setting up the drive. Once complete, the Disk  
should show up as “Healthy” with a drive letter assigned (ie. E:). This  
drive letter should now appear within “My Computer”.

If you are installing a hard drive that already has data on it, then after  
plugging it in, the drive should automatically show up with a drive letter  
assigned within “My Computer”. You can verify or change the drive  
letter through Disk Management, as outlined above.
