Inserting a hard disk drive
1. To remove the housing, slide out the installation frame in the inside of the hard
drive housing to the side.
2. Remove the protective lms of the two foam strips and stick both of them
symmetrically in the transverse direction on one side of the 5 or 7 mm hard disk
drive to be inserted. They are used to x the hard disk drive in the housing. If
desired, you can also stick only one foam strip centrally on the hard disk drive
for the purpose of xation and keep the second one for subsequent replacement.
3. Slide the SATA hard disk drive in the installation frame. Pay attention to the
orientation of the hard disk drive and ensure that the SATA connector on the circuit
board is inserted correctly into the connections. The circuit board must seated so
that it interlocks in the lateral slots of the installation frame.
4. Slide the housing on the installation frame again. Pay attention to the correct
orientation when doing so. The screw holes of both individual parts must be ush
above each other.
5. Secure the installation frame and housing with the screws included with the
product. Tighten the screws with moderate force using the screwdriver included
with the product.
We recommend always tightening the hard disk drive to prevent it
slipping out. Be very careful when moving and transporting the hard
drive housing if a hard disk drive is inserted but not secured with screws.
Without screws, the installation frame can move or even fall out when
suddenly moved.
Driver installation
• The necessary drivers are already included in the operating system. A separate
driver is therefore not included with the product.
Note that a suitable USB3.0 controller is required for use via USB3.0. This controller
is built into many modern mainboards, but you can also update your mainboard using
an additional plug-in card.
Operation
1. Connect the USB-A plug of the USBcable to a USBport on your computer.
2. Connect the USBplug at the other end of the USBcable to the hard drive housing.
3. Place the hard drive housing on a level surface.
Partitioning/formatting the hard drive
• If you want to use a hard disk drive that has not been used before, it must be
partitioned and formatted before it appears in the le manager of your operating
system and can be used as a disk drive. For formatting, refer to the instructions for
the operating system that you are using.
• In Windows
®
you can partition and format the hard drive via the Control Panel.
For example, in Windows
®
7 you can partition and format the hard disk drive in
"System and Security" under Control Panel. Click on "Administrative Tools" and then
on "Create and format hard disk partitions". Select the correct hard disk drive and
create a new partition.
• Then format the newly created partition. A quick format is sucient. Depending
on the capacity of the hard disk drive, a regular format may take a long time to
complete.
• Consult an expert if you are unsure about partitioning/formatting the hard disk drive.
Tips and important information
a) USB3.0
• Your computer must support the USB3.0 standard in order to be able to use USB3.0
speeds.
• If you are connecting the product to a USB hub, the USB hub must support the
USB3.0 standard in order to provide the maximum transfer speed (max. 5 Gb/s).
b) General information
• Before turning the product o, eject the hard disk drive from your computer to avoid
data loss. Refer to the documentation from the operating system manufacturer.
• The product recognises when the computer is turned on/o and turns itself on/o
accordingly. When the computer is turned o or placed in hibernation mode, the
inserted hard disk drive turns itself o along with the LED indicator on the product.
On some operating systems, only the monitor and connected peripheral devices
are turned o when the computer is placed in hibernation mode; the mainboard
continues to be supplied with a current. If so, the inserted hard disk drive and the
LED indicator do not turn o.
• Note that les may be damaged and the operating system may crash if the
connection cable is disconnected when data is being transferred. Always unmount
the hard disk drive via the operating system before disconnecting the connection
cable.
• Always handle hard disk drives carefully. Vibrations during use and even a few
seconds after the hard disk drive has turned o may make the read/write heads
touch the magnetic disk, which can destroy the hard disk drive.
• When connecting the hard disk drive for the rst time, it may take approximately
one minute until the hard disk drive is recognised. This time may vary depending on
the operating system.
Maintenance and cleaning
Never use aggressive and abrasive detergents, rubbing alcohol or other
chemical solutions, as these could damage the casing or even impair the
functioning of the product.
• You do not need to carry out maintenance work on the product.
• Disconnect the USB cable from the product before cleaning. Wait at least 30
seconds until the magnetic plates on the hard disk drive have come to a complete
standstill.
• Do not immerse the product in water.
• A dry, soft and clean antistatic cloth is sucient for cleaning the exterior. Do not
press too hard on the casing as this can lead to scratch marks.
• Dust can be easily removed using a soft and clean long-haired brush.
