All in One HDD Docking Station


How to Use Instructions

You are not required to install a driver, unless


your computer operating system is Windows
2000 or earlier.

Make sure you have installed a hard drive in


the relevant slot, connected the power supply
and USB cables, and then switch the unit ON.
Usually, the computer automatically detects a
mass storage device connected to the USB port
and loads the necessary drivers.

There is an accompanying CD with software,


which is required only if you wish to use the
one touch backup and cloning functionality.
You do not need to install the software in this
CD, if all you will be doing is accessing the
drive as a mass storage device.

As you can see, the printed circuit board (PCB)


has plug connectors for the IDE and power
ports, which mate with their respective
counterpart connectors on the hard disk. It is
therefore a simple matter of aligning the drive
and plugging it in. Click on the image above to

connect.

Power Connectors

Turn over the hard drive so that the Molex


power connectors on the drive and the dock
station are on the same side.

Desktop Hard Disk Position

A desktop hard disk such as PATA will connect


in the centre.

If the power connectors align and mate


properly, then the IDE connector will follow
and align as well. The docking station
connector usually ignores the pins for the
jumper settings and they do not connect to
anything.

Maxtor DiamondMax 21

I am using the Maxtor DiamondMax 21 hard


drive, which also came from eBay as a
refurbished drive. It seems to be operating fine
with this docking station.

sockets on the dock station, and then apply a
small amount of force so that the connectors
join and make an electrical connection.

Connecting the Wires

After seating the drive into the dock station,


connect the power supply and USB cables, and
switch ON the dock station. When you switch it
ON, your computer will automatically detect
the device connected to the USB port and
install the necessary drivers. In "My
Computer", you should see a "Removable
Drive" icon.
