How to Use  
Connecting the Hard Drive  
Once the enclosure has been attached to a computer, and powered on, your computer  
system will automatically recognize the drive(s) and it will be accessible as though it  
were installed in the system internally.  
Note: If your computer fails to automatically recognize your drive it is likely your  
drive has not been initialized or formatted correctly. (See Drive Initialization below for  
further instructions.)  
LED Indicator  
The hard drive enclosure offers LED indicators for each drive, so you can monitor drive  
activity. The LED will flash while the hard drive is being accessed. Do not remove the  
enclosure from the host computer while the LED is flashing, as it could damage the  
drive or the enclosure, resulting in data loss.  
Disconnecting the Hard Drive  
Windows  
1. Select the “Safely remove Hardware and Eject Mediaicon, located in the task bar.  
2. Select the Mass Storage Device from the list that appears.  
3. Wait for the message indicating that it is now safe to remove the device.  
Note: Removing the connected drive prior to receiving notification that it is safe to  
do so, could result in losing or corrupting data stored on the drive. Once the Safe  
to Remove Hardware message appears, please disconnect the enclosure from the  
computer by removing the USB connection.

Mac OS X  
To safely disconnect the attached drive from the host computer, close any windows  
listing the contents of the removable drive. Once all windows are closed, click on the  
USB storage icon on the desktop, and drag it to the Trash Can icon on the desktop.  
Allow 5 seconds before physically removing the enclosure/drive from the computer.  
Initializing the Hard Drive  
1. If the drive is new it may need to be initialized and formatted before use. From the  
main Windows desktop, right-click on “My Computer(“Computerin Vista/ 7 / 8/  
8.1), then select Manage. In the new Computer Management window, select Disk  
Management from the left window panel.  
2. A dialog window should automatically appear, asking you to initialize the drive.  
Depending on the version of Windows, it will give you the option of either creating  
an “MBRor “GPTdisk. GPT (GUID partition) is required for drives larger than 2TB but  
is not compatible with some older operating systems, while MBR is supported by  
newer and older operating systems.
