DX-PHD25 2.5" PATA Hard Drive Disk Enclosure
Connecting the enclosure to your computer
Note: Make sure you have already installed a hard drive into the enclosure before
you connect the enclosure to your computer.
USB 2.0 A male-type connector
for data and bus power
1 Plug the Mini B type connector into the USB port on enclosure, then plug the
other end of the cable into a USB port on your computer. For additional power,
connect the extra USB connector to the computer, especially for large capacity
hard drives.
Note: A good rule of thumb would be to use one connector initially, then if
your computer does not recognize the drive, plug in the second connector.
2 The operating system automatically detects and sets up the new drive. The
enclosure/hard drive turns on and the LED blinks. If the drive is correctly
detected, a new drive letter is assigned.
• For PCs, the new drive letter appears in My Computer.
• For Macintosh computers, the new drive letter appears on your desktop.
3 If the drive is new and is not formatted, follow the steps below to format the
drive. Otherwise, continue to "Installing the backup software".
