2.

 Make certain that the hard drive mechanism you’re installing 

inside the Newer Technology miniStack v2 enclosure is set to 

MASTER before installing. You can find this information either 

on the drive mechanism, or by visiting the drive manufacturer’s 

website.

Place the ATA drive onto the mounting bracket as shown. The 

connecting cables need to be positioned to the left, with the 

opening in the drive bracket to the top. Once inserted properly 

into the bracket, insert the 4 included screws to fasten it securely.

3.

 Place the drive and bracket inside the Newer Technology 

miniStack v2 enclosure, routing the power and ATA cables to 

avoid pinching them. The ATA cable will need to be folded at a 45 

degree angle once it’s set into the drive enclosure. 

Take the black and white wire at the bottom left of the enclosure 

in this picture and tape the thermal probe (the blue portion of 

the wire) onto the center of the hard drive using the enclosed 

piece of tape. Once the drive is inserted, replace the 4 Phillips 

screws on the bottom of the enclosure to fully secure the drive 

carrier. Make sure that all wires are as flat as possible and place 

the plastic top back onto the drive enclosure. Be sure before 

continuing that there are no bulges in the top cover.
