3. Ensuring the computer is powered down, remove the slot cover from a
3.5” floppy drive bay on the host computer.
4. Gently, slide HSB220SAT25B into the now vacant 3.5” floppy drive bay,
threading the connected cables through the opening, until the front
panel of HSB220SAT25B is flush with the computer case front panel.
5. Make sure the screw slots located on the side panels of
HSB220SAT25B are aligned with the screw holes provided by the
computer drive bay, then secure HSB220SAT25B to the computer drive
bay using the provided screws.
6. Connect both of the LP4 connectors provided by the Y-cables (see
steps #1, #4) to LP4 connectors provided by the computer power
supply.
7. Connect the remaining ends of the SATA Data cables to the
appropriate ports on the computer motherboard. You may want to
make note of which SATA ports are used on the motherboard, in
relation to their location on the rear panel of HSB220SAT25B.
Drive Installation
Once HSB220SAT25B has been secured within the computer casing, and
connected appropriately:
1. Open the front panel doors by gently sliding the locking button from left
to right, then gently pull the door outward (exposing the drive bay):

Please note: It is essential that the drive be positioned
properly within the drive bay. Attempting to install a drive
with its interface improperly aligned with the drive bay in-
terface could cause serious damage to both the drive and
the drive bay.
2. Position a 2.5” SATA hard drive so that the SATA interface is directed
into one of the drive bays, label side up. Gently press the drive inward
until the front panel door begins to close, then lock the drive in place by
closing the door until it clicks shut.
Repeat this procedure to install a second 2.5” SATA drive, into the
remaining bay:

Please note: It is strongly recommended that the com-
puter be powered down when removing drives from HSB-
220SAT25B, as removing drives while in use can damage
the drive and any data contained within.
Drive Removal
To remove a drive from HSB220SAT25B:
1. Open the front panel door by gently sliding the locking button from left
to right.
2. Gently pull the door open to eject the drive partially, then pull the drive
out from the enclosure:
3. Once the drive is fully removed from the drive bay, swing the door
closed until it locks in place to prevent damage to the door/hinge.
Similarly, the closed door will help prevent dust particles from entering
the computer.
