Your unit might

come with an

installed hard drive.

Before opening

such an enclosure,

please read the

warranty and any

other notes from

your vendor

carefully before

doing so, as this

might void your

warranty.

Chapter 2 Installing the Hard Drive

Preparing the Enclosure

Remove the 4 screws on the bottom, slide the case off the

body, remove the screws for the top cover and open up the

case.

- 3 -

The hard drive

jumper settings

should be master or

factory default.

Be careful not to

damage any cables

or components and

double check the

connection between

the cables, the

bridge board and

your hard drive

before you close up

the case.

Hard Drive Assembly

Connect the ATA cable and the power line to your hard drive.

Install the hard drive and fasten the screws. Align the top cover

with the body and fasten the screws, before you slide it back

into the casing. Fasten the 4 screws on the bottom and

connect your power adapter and interface cable.

- 4 -

Most problems

occur due to driver

problems on the

Host Card side!

If you buy a spare

power adapter for

your working place

or at home, make

sure the output and

polarity is identical

with the power

adapter supplied!

Make sure not to

insert the Firewire

6-pin connector the

wrong way around,

or you will damage

the device!

Chapter 3 System Set Up

Connection to your Computer

A few tips on how to connect your external storage enclosure:

•Make sure your PCI Host Card is installed correctly

•Double check that the Host Card driver is up to date

•If required, update your Operating System or BIOS

•Only one interface at the time can be used

•Only one computer at the time can access the drive

•To use one drive on several computers, it can be shared

through one computer on the network (1394 network,

company network)

•Firewire can be daisy chained

•All devices in a daisy chain have to be switched on to

permit the hub/daisy chain function

•Do not cover the Enclosure and leave enough room around

it for the drive to cool down

•Do not expose the product to water or humid conditions

•If possible, arrange the cables so they do not cross each

other

•Always check for visible damage and defects of power and

interface cables before using it

•We recommend using the cables and adapter supplied with

your product

- 7 -

You can choose to

create several

partitions but be

aware that if you

want to change this

at a later point, it’s

required to format

the drive again or

use 3rd party

software.

Win98/SE and

WinME do not

recognize NTFS

formatted drives, so

if you want to use

your drive on those

platforms, we

recommend you to

use FAT32 instead.

If you use this

device to backup

your data using a

3rd party software

running MS-DOS,

we recommend you

to format the drive

using FAT32.

Partitioning & Formatting

Be aware that this will destroy all your existing data on the

drive, so make sure you have a backup! This step is usually

only required the first time you install a factory new hard drive,

if you change the format or want to erase all data on your drive.

PC running Win98/SE or WinME:

MS-DOS command “fdisk” (press Enter to confirm)

•Type “fdisk” and press Enter

•Select ”Y” and press Enter

•Enter "5” to change the drive

•Select the drive you want to format

•Choose “1” and follow the onscreen instructions
