Installation

WARNING! Hard drives require careful handling, especially when being transported. If you are

not careful, lost data may result. Always handle hard drives and storage devices with caution.

Hardware Installation

1. Connect the external power adapter from the hard drive docking station to an AC power

outlet.

2. Insert 2.5” or 3.5” hard drive(s) into the top loading slot(s). Make sure that the connectors on

the hard drive are facing the same corner of the slot that has a cutout in the door. The label

on the hard drive should face the front of the SATA docking station.

3. SATDOCK4U2E: Connect the HDD1/2 bays using either a single USB cable (USB1) or separate

eSATA cables (eSATA1/2) to a computer(s). Connect the HDD3/4 bays using either a single

USB cable (USB2) or separate eSATA cables (eSATA3/4) to the same or different computer(s).

SATDOCK4U3E: Connect the included USB cable or eSATA cable from the hard drive docking

station to an available USB or eSATA port on the computer system. The computer can be on

or off.

NOTE: If using eSATA, please note that the eSATA port on the host computer system must

provide Port Multiplier support. If the eSATA port does not offer Port Multiplier support, only

one of the installed SATA drives will be accessible.

4. Press the power buttons on the top of the hard drive docking station for each of the bays that

contain a hard drive. The Power LED around the power buttons should light up.

5. To remove the hard drive, make sure it is currently not being accessed by the computer and

the Activity LED is not flashing, then unmount or uninstall the disk drive from the operating

system (see documentation for your operating system). Press the appropriate power button

to turn off the hard drive and wait for the drive to power down. Press the drive ejection

button on the top of the hard drive dock to the release the drive, then pull the drive from the

slot.

Driver Installation

No driver installation is required for the supported operating systems, as this hard drive dock is

natively supported, so the drivers are already installed.
