2. Quick Start Installation: actiDisk RDX Removable
Hard Disk Storage System
2.1 actiDisk RDX Internal (SATA or USB) Docking Station (Customer Kit)
This section describes how a user can install the actiDisk RDX Internal drive.
Before You Begin
The actiDisk RDX docking station ships ready to install in a standard 5.25-inch half-high drive bay.
Depending on your computer you may need a standard (fl at-blade) or Philips screwdriver to remove the computer cover
and install the drive in your computer.
Important Information on Electro-Static Damage
To protect your computer and docking station from electro-static damage (ESD), follow these guidelines:
Note: Your computer must be plugged into a grounded electrical outlet to be properly grounded.
• Before you open your computer or remove the actiDisk RDX docking station from its antistatic bag, ground yourself by
touching the metal chassis of your computer or some other grounded object.
For optimal protection, use an electrostatic grounding strap.
• Do not touch any printed circuit boards or electronic chips on your actiDisk RDX docking station or in your computer.
• Turn your computer and any peripheral devices off before installing the actiDisk RDX docking station.
Installation Instructions
1 Carefully unpack the docking station and accessories.
2 Turn off the computer.
3 Open the computer cover, using a screwdriver if necessary.
4 Mount the docking station. Slide the actiDisk RDX docking station into an unused drive bay until the bezel is fl ush
with the front of the computer. Secure the docking station using mounting screws, being careful not to over-tighten
the screws (see Figure 1 below).
5 Attach the power cable to the power connector (see Figure 1 below).
6 Connect the data cable (SATA or USB) to the data connector (SATA or USB) (see Figure 1 on next page).
For USB installation, connect the other end of the cable to the appropriate USB connector on the motherboard.
7 Check all cables in your computer system. Before you reinstall your computer cover ensure that all cables are
correctly routed so that they will not bind or become crimped. Also, make sure that no cables have loosened during
the installation.
8 Replace your computer cover.
9 Turn on the computer.
10 (For SATA units only.) During power-up press F2 key, or other hot key, to enter BIOS set up mode.
Enable the SATA port connected to your actiDisk RDX docking station. Save changes and exit from BIOS.
11 If running Windows install the actiDisk RDX software (see „Installing Utility Software for Windows“).
12 If you are using the Linux operating system see the appendix „Using the Linux Operating System“.
NOTE: If you choose to install a new operating system on your computer with an actiDisk RDX docking station attached,
make sure the cartridge is removed. This prevents the operating system from confusing the removable drive
with the system drive.
