Introduction

The UNIDOCK3U USB 3.0 to SATA/IDE Hard Drive Docking Station delivers instant

access to 2.5” and 3.5” IDE or SATA hard drives through top slot-loading drive slots for

both SATA and IDE, instead of having to mount the drives into a computer or external

enclosure/tray. The slot-loading design holds the SATA and IDE drive upright inside the

dock to keep them o the desk for convenience and a clutter free setup. Connected

to the host computer through a single USB 3.0 connection, both an IDE hard drive

and a SATA hard drive (SATA, SATA II, SATA III) can be connected to the HDD dock

simultaneously - a convenient solution for migrating data from an IDE drive to a SATA

drive or vice versa, or simply harnessing fast and simple access to the contents on both

hard drives.

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 external power adapter from the hard drive dock to a power outlet.

2. Insert a 2.5” or 3.5” SATA hard drive into the top-loading drive bay closest to the

front of the dock. Make sure that the SATA connectors on the hard drive are facing

the same corner of the drive bay that has the 2.5in cutout in the door. The label on

the hard drive should face the front of the hard drive dock.

3. If using a 3.5in IDE hard drive, connect the included 40-pin IDE ribbon cable to the

IDE connector on the rear of the dock. If using a 2.5in IDE hard drive, connect the 40

to 44-pin IDE cable to the rear of the dock.

4. Connect the included LP4 Molex power cable into the LP4 connector on the rear of

the dock. If using the 40 to 44-pin cable, connect the built-in LP4 connector to the

connector on the rear of the dock.

5. Connect the IDE hard drive to the ribbon cable and LP4 Molex connector (3.5in

only). Make sure all of the cables are securely connected.

6. Insert the IDE hard drive into the top-loading drive bay (closest to rear connectors).

Instruction Manual 4

7. Connect the included USB cable from the hard drive dock to an available USB port

on the computer system. The computer can be on or o.

NOTE: The USB 3.0 cable can be connected to a USB 2.0 port, however will only be able

to operate at USB 2.0 speeds.

8. Press the power button on the front of the dock. Button 1 is for the SATA drive, and

button 2 is for the IDE drive.

9. The SATA drive bay has an ejection button next to it, that can be pressed to help

pull the drive free from the bay. NOTE: Drives should be powered o before being

removed from the dock.

Driver Installation

No driver installation is required for the supported operating systems, as this hard

drive dock is natively supported, so the drivers are already installed.

Instruction Manual 5

Using the Storage Device

Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7

If you are using a brand new hard drive that does not contain any data, then you will

rst need to prepare the hard drive for use. From the main desktop, right-click on

“My Computer” (“Computer” in Vista/7), 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 conrm it’s the

correct hard drive) and then right-click in the section that says “Unallocated” and select

“New Partition”.

Instruction Manual 6

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 (i.e. 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.
