computer.

power adapter to the drive.

Step 3. Connect the USB adapter cable to the Hard Drive; and the other end

of the USB adapter cable to the USB port on your computer. The computer

will then detect the USB External Hard Drive as a new USB device.

computer. Look for "USB" or the USB symbol which usually identifies the USB

connection. Always connect the adapter cable to the computer after

connecting to the drive. To disconnect, always remove the adapter cable from

the computer first.

External Hard Drive is not accessing data.

SATA to USB2.0/ eSATA Installation Instructions

Included are two different SATA cable types. The first is the regular SATA

cable which connects to either your motherboard SATA connectors if

supported or a SATA host adapter card. The connector type has a small

90° notch at one end. The second is the external SATA cable (“eSATA”)

which connects the included external PCI slot bracket eSATA connector to

the external hard drive unit. The connector has a ½” slot with no notches.

1. First install the external PCI slot bracket into an empty external PCI slot on

the back of your desktop. You may need to open your desktop computer

to do this. Then connect the SATA cable connected to the bracket to your

motherboard or controller card SATA connectors. If you already have a

eSATA host adapter card, ignore this step.

2. Then connect the power adapter and power cable from a 120V AC wall or

surge protector socket to your external hard drive unit. The power

connector to your external hard drive is a four-pin connector.

3. Now connect the eSATA cable to your mounted bracket’s eSATA

connector. If you have an eSATA host adapter bus card then connect it to

the card’s eSATA connector instead.

4. Now turn on your external hard drive. The light should blink for a short

period of time then settle into a steady light. Now turn on your computer.

Allow Windows to connect your drive to the system. Your drive should now

appear in “My Computer” with a drive letter.

5. In case the drive does not show up in My Computer, it’s possible the drive

may need to be initialized and formatted. Right-Click on the My Computer

icon, then click on Manage. The Computer Management console should

appear. Click on the Disk Management selection which is under the

Storage “plus” selection. The drives should appear on the right. You may

need to initialize the drive , then partition and format the drive. Start the

appropriate wizard by right clicking on the drive display graph section.
