Connecting the enclosure to your computer
Notes:
• Make sure you that have installed the hard drive into the enclosure before
connecting the enclosure to your computer.
• A new hard drive must be initialized and partitioned before it appears in
Windows Explorer or on your Mac desktop. Refer to your hard drive
manufacturer’s documentation, or see your online User Guide.
• For optimal performance, make sure that your laptop or PC has USB 3.0 ports
( ). If your computer does not have USB 3.0 capability, you can plug the
USB 3.0 cable into any available USB 2.0 port, but it will only run at USB 2.0
speeds.
To connect the enclosure to your computer:
1 Plug the smaller USB 3.0 (Micro-B type) connector on the USB cable (provided)
into the port on the enclosure.
2 Plug the other end of the cable into a USB port on your computer.
The operating system automatically detects and sets up the new drive.
If the drive is correctly detected, a new drive letter is assigned to the enclosure.
• For PCs, the new drive letter appears in My Computer.
• For Macintosh computers, the new drive letter appears on the desktop.

need to format the new drive. For further assistance please refer to the
troubleshooting guide included on the reverse of this quick setup guide, or refer to
