Introduction

This high quality Removable ATA/ IDE Hard Drive Drawer/Mobile Rack delivers a

professional-grade ATA/ IDE hot-swap solution, allowing you to quickly swap ATA/ IDE

hard drives in and out of a computer without having to open the computer case.

Simply install the (included) drive bay into a 5.25in drive bay on the host computer,

then mount a 3.5in IDE HDD in the (removable) caddy. Connecting the IDE hard drive

to the computer is as easy as inserting the caddy into the drive bay, which can be

locked to prevent unauthorized removal of the installed IDE drive.

A practical, time-saving hot swap solution, the drive drawer includes Swap Manager

utility software that lets users swap drives in and out of the host computer without

powering down the computer.

A suitable solution for large volume drives, the HDD drawer supports IDE modes up

to ATA-133, allowing you to swap in large amounts of data in a matter of seconds.

With support for IDE HDD speeds up to 133 MBps, the mobile rack/backplane is fully

compatible with RAID installations to ensure maximum performance and versatility for

enhanced storage applications.

The drive caddy features two front panel ball bearing fans that help keep the enclosed

drive cool, in turn helping to optimize operation while preserving drive lifespan.

To prevent damage to the hard drive(s) while being transferred in and out of the

computer, the drive caddy features shock absorbers and rubber cushioning that help

limit vibration/shock to the drive.

Instruction Manual

Installation

Installing Hard Drive in the Caddy

WARNING! Hard drives and storage enclosures require careful handling,

especially when being transported. If you are not careful with your hard disk,

lost data may result. Always handle your hard drive and storage device with

caution. Be sure that you are properly grounded by wearing an anti-static

strap when handling computer components or discharge yourself of any static

electricity build-up by touching a large grounded metal surface (such as the

computer case) for several seconds.

1. Remove the drive caddy from the bay by lifting the handle and sliding the caddy

out of the bay.

2. Remove the top panel from the caddy by pressing the cover release button and

sliding the lid towards the back of the caddy.

3. Connect the short IDE data cable inside the drive caddy to the hard drive.

4. Attach the LP4 Molex power cable inside the drive caddy to the hard drive.

5. Gently place the hard drive in the caddy, making sure that the screw-holes on the

bottom of the hard drive line up with the holes in the caddy.

6. Firmly hold the hard drive to the shock absorber plate and use the four #6-32 x

1/4”(coarse thread) screws to mount your hard drive to the drawer from underneath.

7. Replace the top panel of the drive caddy.

Instruction Manual

Installing the Bay in the PC

WARNING! Computer parts can be severely damaged by static electricity. Be

sure that you are properly grounded before opening your computer case.

StarTech.com recommends that you wear an anti-static strap when installing

any computer component. If an anti-static strap is unavailable, discharge

yourself of any static electricity build-up by touching a large grounded metal

surface (such as the computer case) for several seconds.

1. Turn your computer o and any peripherals connected to the computer (i.e. Printers,

external hard drives, etc.). Unplug the power cable from the rear of the power

supply on the back of the computer and disconnect all peripheral devices.

2. Remove the side covers from your system and remove the front cover from an

available 5.25”drive bay (see your computer’s user manual for details, if necessary).

3. Insert the bay into the 5.25” bay slot, making sure that the screw-holes on the side of

the bay line up with the holes in the bay slot.

4. Connect an IDE data and LP4 Molex power cable to the rear of the bay from the

computer systems IDE controller and power supply respectively.

NOTE: The “System” drive cannot be hot-swapped, as it contains the operating

system. Only secondary drives can be hot-swapped through the operating system or

SwapManager software

5. Place the cover back onto the computer case.

6. Insert the power cable into the socket on the power supply and reconnect all other

connectors removed in Step 1.

Installing the Caddy in the Bay

1. With the handle on the caddy fully raised, insert the caddy into the bay.

2. Once inserted as far as it will allow, lower the handle to rmly seat the caddy into

Using Your Swap Manager Software

The following is intended to provide you with an introduction to your Swap Manager

software. For detailed instructions and troubleshooting tips, consult the material

provided on the Swap Manager CD.

• Start Swap Manager by double-clicking on the Swap Manager icon. This will bring

up the Swap Manager window.

• The Swap Manager window displays a list of all the drives attached to your

computer. The window also lists information about each drive’s IDE channel.

• Remember that while the window lists all drives for your computer, you can only

swap drives attached to the secondary IDE channel.

• If possible always keep the Swap Manager open if you are planning to swap drives.

It can be minimized, but it should not be closed.

• To remove a drive, bring up the Swap Manager window and click on the Swap

Out button above the drive information. Wait a few seconds then remove the

drive (see “Removing the Drive Drawer”) or follow instructions provided by the

drive manufacturer. Click on the “Swap All” In button to refresh the Swap Manager

information. The drive information should now be removed from the Swap

Manager.

• To add a drive, add your drive according to the instructions on page 5 or according

to instructions provided by your drive manufacturer. Bring up the Swap Manager

window and click on the Swap All In button to refresh the Swap Manager. It may

take a few seconds to properly register all the new information. You should now see

your new drive listed in the Swap Manager.

Instruction Manual

Troubleshooting Swap Manager

If you have installed a new drive but there is no new icon listed in Swap Manager, rst

make sure that you have clicked the Swap In icon to let Swap Manager know that there

is a new drive. If that does not work, check the following:

• Make sure that the hardware is properly installed and that all cables are properly

connected and rmly seated.

• Make sure that the drive bay is connected to the secondary ATA/ IDE channel. The

primary ATA/ IDE channel is not accessed by Swap Manager.

• Make sure that the drive caddy is rmly seated in the bay and that the bay has been

locked. If the bay is not locked, no power will be supplied to the drive and Swap

Manager will not detect it.

Monitoring Your Hard Disk Drive and Drawer

The status LED is located on the right side of the drive drawer. It is your best indication

of the hard drive’s status, and is lit when the drawer is successfully inserted and locked

into the caddy.

The Fan Status LED located on the left side of the drive drawer indicates fan failure.

When lit up, a problem with the cooling fans has been detected.

NOTE: It is recommended that you avoid removing a drawer during hard disk activity,

as doing so could damage the drive and/or data.
