Instruction manual

Install a drive

Warning! Hard drives and storage enclosures should be handled carefully, especially

when they’re transported. If you’re not careful with your hard drive, you may lose data

as a result. Make sure that you’re properly grounded by wearing an anti-static strap

when you install any computer component. If an anti-static strap isn’t available, touch

a large grounded metal surface for several seconds to discharge any built-up static

electricity.

1. To open the enclosure, slide the top panel away from the USB port and lift it away

from the enclosure base.

2. Attach the included drive cushion to the back side of the enclosure, opposite to the

drive connectors.

3. Gently slide the connectors on your drive into the corresponding connectors on the

enclosure.

Note: The connectors on your drive are keyed so that the drive only ts into the

enclosure one way.

4. Align the hooks on the top panel with the grooves on the base of the enclosure and

slide the panel back into place.

Connect a drive to your computer

• After you install a drive in the enclosure, connect the USB cable to the USB port on

your computer and the USB Micro-B connector on the enclosure.

When you connect the enclosure to your computer and the OS automatically installs

the necessary software, the drive is accessible as though it’s installed internally in the

system. Before you use the drive, you need to prepare it for use and format it according

to the requirements of your OS. For more information, see the Prepare a drive for use

topic.

Note: The enclosure doesn’t require an external power supply, as it receives enough

power through the USB bus that it’s connected to.

Prepare a drive for use

Windows OS

If you install a drive that already has data on it, after you insert the drive, it appears

under My Computer or Computer with a drive letter assigned to it.

If you install a brand-new drive that doesn’t contain any data, you must prepare the

drive for use.

Warning! When you complete the following steps, all of the data on your drive will be

deleted. If your drive has data on it that you require, you should create a backup le or

use a dierent drive.

Instruction manual

1. Depending on the version of OS that you’re running, do one of the following:

• On your desktop, right-click My Computer and click Manage.

• On your desktop, right-click Computer and click Manage.

• Click the Start button or Windows icon. Enter compmgmt.msc and press

Enter.

2. On the Computer Management screen, click Disk Management.

3. A dialog window appears and asks you to initialize the drive. Depending on the

version of Windows that you’re running, you have the option to create either an

MBR or a GPT disk.

Note: GPT (GUID partition) is required for drives larger than 2 TB, but GPT isn’t

compatible with some earlier versions of operating systems. MBR is supported by both

earlier and later versions of operating systems.

4. Locate the disk that is labeled as Unallocated. To conrm that the drive is the

correct one, check the drive capacity.

5. Right-click the section of the window that says Unallocated and click New Partition.

6. To initialize the drive in the format of your choice, complete the on-screen

instructions.

When the drive is successfully installed, it appears under My Computer or Computer

with a drive letter assigned to it.

Mac OS

If you install a brand-new drive that doesn’t contain any data, you must prepare the

drive for use.

Warning! When you complete the following steps, you create a partition that uses the

entire drive space.

1. Do one of the following:

• In Spotlight, enter Disk Utility.

• Open Finder. Navigate to Applications and click Utilities. Open Disk Utility.

2. Select the new drive and click the Partition tab.

3. Enter a name for the partition.

4. Click Apply.

The drive should now appear on your desktop and be accessible in Finder.

Instruction manual

Windows

If you’re using a computer that’s running a version of Windows, complete the following:

Media icon.

2. Click Eject USB Device.

3. When the Safe to Remove Hardware message appears, disconnect the USB cable

from the enclosure and your computer.

Warning! If you disconnect the drive before you receive a notication that says it’s safe

to do so, you could experience lost or corrupted data.

1. Close any of the windows that list the contents of the removable drive.

2. On the desktop, click the USB storage icon and drag it onto the trash can icon on

your desktop.
