Hardware setup

For an External SATA kit

1. Plug the AC power adapter into the hard drive

and the wall outlet.

2. Use the eSATA cable to connect the drive to

your computer.

3. Turn on the power to your computer.

4. Press the button on the front of the drive to turn

on the power.

5. See page 5 for Windows OS information, or

page 7 for Macintosh OS information, including

installing drivers, reformatting and partitioning,

and dismounting your drive.

6. See page 10 to install and configure BounceBack

Express software to utilise the backup feature of

your drive.

You don’t need to follow this hardware setup

sequence. Hardware setup steps 1 through 4

are a good way to connect your new drive to your

computer, but you don’t always need to follow this

sequence.

For example, in Windows XP only, if you want to attach

your drive after your computer has already booted, you

can simply connect the interface cable, turn on power

to the drive, and your OS will detect and mount the

drive automatically. This is known as hot-plugging.

In a hot-plug situation, it’s a good idea to connect all

power and interface cables to your drive, and to place

the drive where you want it to remain, before you turn

it on. You should not move your drive once it’s running.

Caution: Windows 2000 Pro does not support

“hot remove.” You must use the “Safely Remove

Hardware” utility prior to disconnecting the drive.
