Forensic Device User Advisory
We recommend that you perform a final check on this product.
Prior to first use, please verify that the write-blocking function of this product is working properly. This is
easily done: attach a known good formatted drive, and verify that the drive mounts properly on your
computer. Use a drive that has data on it that you are willing to overwrite. Transfer files to the drive. The
files will appear to transfer to the drive. Thereafter, unmount the drive and remount the drive. The files
that you wrote to the drive should not appear after the drive is remounted. If they do appear, there is a
problem with your Forensic Device, and you should contact our support department for further
instructions.
Installation Instructions
1. Check the accessories with your Forensic DriveDock+. Please contact WiebeTech if any items are missing
or damaged. The box should contain:
Forensic DriveDock+ 1

2. Attach bottom plate to your 3.5” 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.
3. Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the parts of your new DriveDock. This will aid you in the
remaining steps.
4. Configure the jumpers on your hard drive. The drive must be set to the Master setting. 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.

Note: The DriveDock+ may utilize any 12V
regulated switching power supply capable of
supplying 2A or greater. Do not use an
unregulated adapter, as damage may occur to
the Dock or the attached drive.
5. Connect the hard drive to the dock.
6. Connect the FireWire cable from your computer into the appropriate port on the DriveDock.
7. Connect power to the DriveDock. There are two options. The most common usage is to plug in the AC
adapter. When the adapter is connected, the LED labeled “+12” will illuminate. Alternatively, you may supply power
through a standard 4-pin Molex connector from the computer’s internal PSU. This option makes it easy to access a
drive still mounted inside a computer case. When power is connected in this way, the LED labeled “4 PIN” will
illuminate.
Your DriveDock is now ready to use! Turn on the unit by moving the power switch toward the side labeled “|”. When
power is on, the output LEDs “+12” and “+5” will illuminate to show that power is going to the hard drive.
The red LED access indicator will light briefly after the unit is powered up, indicating that the FireWire bridge has
successfully established communication with the drive. Thereafter, it will light whenever the drive is accessed. If the
access LED does not blink shortly after drive spin up, it may indicate a problem with the drive or the dock. If the
access LED blinks at a steady rate, this also may be indicative of a problem or an incorrectly jumpered drive. Contact
technical support for further assistance if necessary.

A. Attach the free end of the IDE ribbon cable to
the back of the hard drive. The connector is
keyed to insert only one way. The IDE pins on the
hard drive are fragile, so be very careful when
inserting or removing the IDE connector.
B. Attach the 4-pin power connector from the
dock into the back of the hard drive. As with the
IDE cable, the power connector will only fit one
way.
