2. Using Forensic ComboDock v4
2.1 Attach a Bottom Plate
Attach the metal bottom plate to your 3.5-inch hard drive. This step is optional but recommended.
The purpose of the bottom plate is to provide protection to your drive electronics and aid heat dissipation.
Attach the bottom plate to your drive using the four screws supplied. Attach a rubber bumper to each
corner. Extra bottom plates are available from WiebeTech.
2.2 Jumper Configuration for 3.5-inch IDE/PATA HDD
Configure the jumpers on your hard drive.
IDE/PATA drives must be set to the Master setting. The
specific method differs between manufacturers, so consult the instructions for your drive (some drives
display configuration information on the drive’s label). A few drives have both “Master with Slave
Present” and “Master without Slave” options. Choose the latter in this case. In rare cases, if the Master
setting does not work then try Cable Select.
