Installation

WARNING!

Computer equipment can be severely damaged by static

electricity. Be sure that you are properly grounded before opening

your computer case or touching your hard drive. StarTech.com

recommends that you wear an anti-static strap when installing any

computer component. If an anti-static strap is unavailable, discharge

yourself of any static electricity build-up by touching a large grounded

metal surface (such as the computer case) for several seconds. Be sure

to handle your hard drive carefully and consult your hard drive and

laptop manufacturer for details on how to remove the drive.

1. Connect the power cable to the adapter, if it is not already

connected. The adapter has a “B” (for black wire) on one side and an

“R” (for red wire) on the other to help you connect the power cable.

2. Connect the female end of the adapter to your notebook hard

drive making sure that Pin 1 on the hard drive is aligned with Pin

1 on the adapter. (Pin 1 on the adapter is the labeled pin furthest

from the power connector)

WARNING!

Connecting the adapter to the drive incorrectly can

severely damage or destroy your hard drive. The location of Pin 1 on

the hard drive depends on the model of hard drive you are using. If

you are unsure of the location of Pin 1 on your hard drive, contact

the hard drive manufacturer before attempting to connect the drive.

3. Make sure that your computer is turned off and that you are

grounded. Remove the cover from your PC.

4. Secure the hard drive to the bracket using the provided screws.

Insert the bracket into an open 3.5” drive bay and secure the

bracket to your computer case.

5. Attach an internal IDE connector to the male end of the adapter,

making sure that the red stripe is on Pin 1. Pin 1 on the adapter is

the labeled pin furthest from the power connector.

6. Attach an internal power cable to the power connector on the

adapter. The connector is formed so that it is difficult to connect

the connector incorrectly.

Configuring Your Adapter

If the drive is the only drive on the IDE controller, you will not need

to set any jumpers on your hard drive. If there is another drive on the

controller, you will need to set the Master/Slave jumper pins on your

hard drive. Consult your hard drive documentation for Master/Slave

pin location and configuration.
