E: If your operating system is Windows 98/ME, please follow

the installation direction:

1. Be sure you have fully updated Win 98 or ME OS.

2. Download the driver from our website at

http://cavalrystorage.com/Caxm37160.asp and save it at your desired

location.

3. Navigate to device manager.

4. Right click on the yellow question mark indicating an unknown external

storage.

5. When the device driver wizard starts, click on the “Browse” button to

select the search directory to find drivers.

6. Find the USB2.0-98 driver on the CD.

7. Click next to continue.

Step 5. When the USB cable is connected properly (and your computer is on)

a light briefly appears in the center of the USB External Hard Drive. This

indicates that the Hard Drive is receiving power and is ready to use. After the

system detects the drive, the light in the center of the drive becomes a drive

activity indicator. This means the light will flicker on and off when your

computer is accessing the drive. The light is normally off when the USB

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.
