1. Check the accessories with your Maxelerate. Please contact WiebeTech if any items are missing or damaged.

The box should contain:

Maxelerate unit 1

AC adapter & power cord 1

1394a (FireWire 400) cable 1

USB cable 1

Screws (for MAX-0) 8

Manual and Warranty information (on CD)

2. Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the parts of your new Maxelerate. This will aid you in the

remaining steps. If you purchased your Maxelerate with a drive pre-installed, you may skip ahead to the section on

connecting the unit to your computer.

3. Configure the jumpers on your 3.5” IDE 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.

(Example)

4. Remove the bottom panel. Turn the Maxelerate over so the bottom side is facing up and remove the unit from

the bag. Please note that the bottom panel is not attached to the Maxelerate unit and is loose inside the bag. The

package contains a total of 8 screws, 4 for fixing the bottom panel to the enclosure, and 4 for securing the drive.

Remove the enclosure and bottom panel from the bag.

5. Connect the cables to the hard drive. Locate the IDE cable inside the Maxelerate and insert the free end into

the hard drive. The drive’s IDE pins can be easily bent, so be careful when connecting the cable.

Locate the power cable and insert the plug into the hard drive. It will only fit one way.

6. Rest the drive inside the Maxelerate case on top of the folded IDE and power cables. Ensure that the control

board side of the hard drive is facing up. When properly positioned, the screw holes in the hard drive will be facing

up, ready for alignment with the corresponding openings in the bottom panel.

7. Secure the bottom panel. Carefully align the openings in the bottom panel with the screw holes in the hard

drive, and the screw holes in the body of the enclosure. Fasten the drive to the bottom panel first, and then fasten the

bottom panel to the body with the included screws.

The Maxelerate is now assembled and ready for connection to a computer.

The Maxelerate can be self-powered, or bus-powered via the USB upstream cable. If the Maxelerate is connected as

a USB hard drive, sufficient power will be provided for hard drive and hub functions, and the LED indicator will be

“on”. The amount of bus power supplied by the host, however, may not be sufficient for devices connected to the hub

portion of the Maxelerate. Many devices draw more power and require the use of an AC adapter. Additionally, when

The Maxelerate can be self-powered, or bus-powered via FireWire cable. If the Maxelerate is connected as a

FireWire hard drive, sufficient power will be provided for hard drive and repeater functions, and the LED indicator will
