Installation instructions:
Open the storage enclosure carefully and prepare your 2.5" IDE or S-ATA (depending on which
model enclosure was purchased) by setting it to MASTER. This is done by arranging the dip switches
at the back of the hard drive. It is possible that the hard drive is already set up this way by default.
Gently place the hard drive into the enclosure and use any provided screw to firmly connect the
drive to the enclosure. Carefully slide the drive onto the connector of the enclosure, so the drive is
physically connected to the board of the enclosure.
In Windows 98/98SE, you will need to install the supplied driver. For Windows XP and Vista, the
enclosure will automatically be detected as a Mass Storage Device and will be assigned a drive
letter.
If your hard drive is new and not formatted or partitioned yet, please follow the instructions below to
