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.

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.
