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.

1. Turn your computer off and any peripherals connected to the computer (i.e. printers, external hard drives, etc.). Unplug the power cable from the rear of the power supply on the back of the computer and disconnect all peripheral devices.
2. Remove the cover from the computer case. Refer to documentation for your computer system for details.
3. Remove the front cover plate for the 5.25in bay that will contain the Mobile Rack. Refer to documentation for your computer system for details.
4. Refer to documentation for your computer system for instructions on how to mount 5.25in devices into the computer case. Mounting screws are provided, if necessary.
5. Once mounted in the case, connect the 7-pin SATA data cable from the motherboard or SATA controller card to the rear of the Mobile Rack.
6. Connect the 15-pin SATA power cable from the computer power supply to the rear of the Mobile Rack.

NOTE: An optional 4-pin LP4 Molex power connector is also available if the computer power supply does not have any available SATA power connectors.
