Host Controller installation

In order to provide a software and hardware link between the host computer and the

SAT3550ESR Drive Enclosure, it is required that the included PCI Express Host

Controller be installed on the host computer. You may also use another Host Controller,

provided it features port multiplier support, however it is not guaranteed that all host

controllers with port multiplier support are compatible with the drive enclosure.

1. Insert the Driver CD into your CD/DVD-ROM drive

2. Power down the computer, ensuring the system is unplugged and you are grounded.

3. Remove the cover of your system (see your computer's user manual for details, if

necessary) and gently turn your computer onto its side, so that the PCI Express

expansion slot on the motherboard is facing upward.

4. Locate an empty PCI Express slot and remove the metal plate that covers the

corresponding rear bracket. You may need a Phillips screwdriver to perform this step.

Retain the screw! You will need it to secure the card later.

5. Gently insert the card into the empty slot, making sure it is firmly seated.

6. Secure the card to the rear panel, using the screw you removed in Step 3.

7. Power on the computer. Once the operating system is fully booted, insert the Driver

CD (included) into the CD/DVD-ROM drive. You will notice several message

balloons originating in the taskbar, indicating that the required drivers are being

installed for the devices found.

The SiI 4726 Manager GUI provides a convenient way to manage disks installed within

the Drive Enclosure. To install the Sil 4726 Manager GUI:

1. Locate the Setup.exe file, by browsing to the BT3045_Manager\

SiI_4726_Graphic_User_Interface_V4.0.0.9 subfolder.

2. Double-click on the Setup.exe file to begin installation. Follow the on-screen prompts

to complete installation.

Once the card has been properly installed,

you can verify that it is detected by the

operating system by browsing to the

1. Open the Front Panel Door, exposing the individual Drive Bays.

2. To remove one of the Drive Bays from the enclosure, slide the Safety Latch on the

front panel of the bay, to the left. Gently press the cover of the Drive Bay until you

hear a click, allowing the Retaining Arm to move freely. Grasp the Retaining Arm and

pull the Drive Bay from the enclosure.

3. Align the screwholes provided on the base of the Drive Bay, with the screws provided

on the base of the hard drive. Secure the hard drive to the metal base of the Drive

Bay removed in step 2, using the included screws as necessary.

4. Once the drive has been secured to the Drive Bay, replace the Drive Bay by gently

sliding it into the empty slot, ensuring the Drive Bay is properly resting on the internal

guide rails provided. The SATA data and power connectors located on the back of the

hard drive should be in direct contact with the connectors located internally at the

back of the enclosure.

5. Gently press the Retaining Arm (see step 2) until it locks back in place, now flush with

the other drive bays.

6. Slide the Safety Latch to the right, to ensure that the installed drive is not accidentally

released from the enclosure.

7. Repeat steps 1-6, for the remaining hard drives you wish to install.

8. Once you have secured each hard drive within the enclosure, close the Front Panel

Door. Optionally, you can lock the Front Panel Door in place, using the keys provided,

by turning the lock 1/4 turn in a clockwise direction.

Hard drive installation

Connecting the Drive Enclosure to the computer

To connect the SAT3550ESR Drive Enclosure to the host computer

: Connect one

end of a standard eSATA cable to the port located on the rear panel of the Drive

Enclosure; connect the remaining end of the eSATA cable to the eSATA port provided by

the the newly installed host controller on the host computer.

To power the SAT3550ESR Drive Enclosure:

Connect the female portion of the

included power cable to the male power port located on the rear panel of the Drive

Enclosure. Connect the remaining end of the power cable to an available power outlet.

Press and hold the Power button for three seconds, (located on the front of the Drive

Enclosure). Verify that the drives are detected by the operating system (in Windows, for

example, browse to My Computer, where the newly attached drives should appear).
