Installing a Disk Drive

Before you begin, ensure that you are installing the proper disk
drive. The Adaptec ACS-100 USB Enclosure supports 3.5-inch IDE
hard disk drives only.

Note:

You need a Phillips screwdriver to complete this task.

To install a disk drive into your USB Enclosure:

Use a screwdriver to remove the two screws on the back of the
enclosure.

Remove the enclosure’s back panel, as shown below, and slide
out the disk drive tray.

Connect the disk drive tray’s internal power connector and IDE
cable to the disk drive.
