Connect the 4-Pin Molex cable to 
the power connector on the IDE 
hard drive. Carefully place the IDE 
hard drive with the label facing up 
into the Diamond enclosure.  Push 
the hard drive towards the back end 
to secure the drive connectors onto 
the Diamond enclosure’s IDE 
connector.

Power: Connect the 6-pin Mini DIN power cable (provided) to the 6-pin 
Mini DIN power connector located at the back of the enclosure. 
 
Data: 
Model: DCHDSAES & DCHDIES 
Connect the eSATA to eSATA cable to the eSATA connector located at 
the back of the enclosure and the other end of the eSATA cable to the 
eSATA connector on your SATA host controller with eSATA ports.

located at the back of the enclosure to the ON mode. When the switch is 
turned on, the LED light beside it would light up to indicate power and 
also drive access.

as the drivers are installed for the Serial ATA Controller card/chip. It 
is plug and play.
