Introduction
The UNIDOCK3U USB 3.0 to SATA/IDE Hard Drive Docking Station delivers instant
access to 2.5” and 3.5” IDE or SATA hard drives through top slot-loading drive slots for
both SATA and IDE, instead of having to mount the drives into a computer or external
enclosure/tray. The slot-loading design holds the SATA and IDE drive upright inside the
dock to keep them o the desk for convenience and a clutter free setup. Connected
to the host computer through a single USB 3.0 connection, both an IDE hard drive
and a SATA hard drive (SATA, SATA II, SATA III) can be connected to the HDD dock
simultaneously - a convenient solution for migrating data from an IDE drive to a SATA
drive or vice versa, or simply harnessing fast and simple access to the contents on both
hard drives.

Installation
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.
Hardware Installation
1. Connect the external power adapter from the hard drive dock to a power outlet.
2. Insert a 2.5” or 3.5” SATA hard drive into the top-loading drive bay closest to the
front of the dock. Make sure that the SATA connectors on the hard drive are facing
the same corner of the drive bay that has the 2.5in cutout in the door. The label on
the hard drive should face the front of the hard drive dock.
3. If using a 3.5in IDE hard drive, connect the included 40-pin IDE ribbon cable to the
IDE connector on the rear of the dock. If using a 2.5in IDE hard drive, connect the 40
to 44-pin IDE cable to the rear of the dock.
4. Connect the included LP4 Molex power cable into the LP4 connector on the rear of
the dock. If using the 40 to 44-pin cable, connect the built-in LP4 connector to the
connector on the rear of the dock.
5. Connect the IDE hard drive to the ribbon cable and LP4 Molex connector (3.5in
only). Make sure all of the cables are securely connected.
6. Insert the IDE hard drive into the top-loading drive bay (closest to rear connectors).

to operate at USB 2.0 speeds.
8. Press the power button on the front of the dock. Button 1 is for the SATA drive, and
button 2 is for the IDE drive.

pull the drive free from the bay. NOTE: Drives should be powered o before being
removed from the dock.
Driver Installation
No driver installation is required for the supported operating systems, as this hard
drive dock is natively supported, so the drivers are already installed.

Using the Storage Device
Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7
If you are using a brand new hard drive that does not contain any data, then you will
rst need to prepare the hard drive for use. From the main desktop, right-click on
“My Computer” (“Computer” in Vista/7), then select Manage. In the new Computer
Management window, select Disk Management from the left window panel.
Locate the Disk that says it is “Unallocated” (check hard drive capacity to conrm it’s the
correct hard drive) and then right-click in the section that says “Unallocated” and select
“New Partition”.
Instruction Manual 6
The New Partition Wizard will appear. Follow the instructions in the wizard to
complete setting up the drive. Once complete, the Disk should show up as “Healthy”
with a drive letter assigned (i.e. E:). This drive letter should now appear within My
Computer.
If you are installing a hard drive that already has data on it, then after plugging it in, the
drive should automatically show up with a drive letter assigned within My Computer.
