Wiebetech USB DriveDock v5 31252-1209-0000 Folheto

USB DriveDock can use bus power for 2.5” and SSD drives. However, some hard drives have 
different power requirements especially when spinning up. The USB port can only provide so 
much power and when it exceeds this amount you may get an error message on the computer. 
If this occurs we suggest that you use the included AC adapter to power your dock and the drive 
attached.

Your USB DriveDock is now ready to use!  Turn on the unit by moving the power switch to the 
“I” position.  The green drive access indicator will light briefly after the unit is powered up, 
indicating that USB DriveDock has successfully established communication with the drive.  
Thereafter, it will light whenever the drive is accessed.  

CRU-WiebeTech offers optional Combo Adapters that can allow your USB DriveDock to access 
many additional types of drives. Follow these three simple steps to use a Combo Adapter with 
your dock: 

a.  Attach USB DriveDock’s 4-wire power connector to the adapter.
b.  Connect USB DriveDock’s IDE ribbon cable to the adapter’s IDE pins.
c.  Connect the drive to the adapter.

You are now ready to use USB DriveDock to access the drive. Combo Adapters are available for 
SATA drives, notebook drives, MicroDrives, ZIF drives, and more. See the WiebeTech website for

c.   Attach the other end of the legacy to SATA power adapter cable into the SATA 

connection on the drive.

d.   Plug the eSATA to SATA cable into the SATA drive connection on USB DriveDock and into 

the eSATA connection on the drive.  

a.   Configure the jumpers on your hard drive.  The drive must be set to the Master setting.  

Consult the instructions for your drive (some drives display configuration information on 
the drive’s label).  A few drives have 
both “Master with Slave Present” 
and “Master without Slave” options.  
Choose the latter in this case.  In 
rare cases, if the Master setting 
does not work then try Cable Select.  

b.   With 3.5” drives, attach the free end 

of the IDE ribbon cable to the back 
of the hard drive.  The connector is keyed to insert only one way.  The IDE pins on the 
hard drive are fragile, so be very careful when inserting or removing the IDE connector

With 2.5” drives, lift up the IDE ribbon cable, and attach the drive to the connecter 
underneath.

c.   Attach the legacy to mini-fit adapter cable from the dock into the back of the hard drive.  

As with the IDE cable, the connector will only fit one way. 

a.    Connect the USB 3.0 cable from your computer into the corresponding port on the USB 

DriveDock.  

b.   Connect power to the USB DriveDock. Use either the included AC adapter or, optionally, you 

can connect a 4-wire power cable from inside a computer case.  This is useful if you wish 
to access a drive inside a computer without removing it first.
