through FireWire 800 (400 compatible) or USB 2.0 –
Forensic SATADock is the best solution for accessing
data from suspect SATA drives. With two FireWire
ports, it's daisy-chainable for more versatility.
•Multiple status indicators – A variety of new LEDs show such things as power input/output status,
hard drive access, host attachment, and write-blocking status.
•Rugged design, built to last – Grab it and go! Forensic SATADock is tough as nails and made to last.
The small and rugged case contains a complete, high speed Oxford Semiconductor 924 bridge and is
constructed from briefcase-tough aluminum for durability. Its world-compatible AC adapter accepts 100-
240VAC so you can trot the globe.
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 SATADock. Please contact WiebeTech if any items are missing or
damaged. The box should contain:
2. Attach the metal 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.

Note: The SATADock may use 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.
4. Plug the SATA connector into the back of the drive. This connector combines the power and data
connectors for the drive. Do not force the connector, as this may damage the drive’s interface. The connector will fit
only one way. Note: The SATA power and data cables from the SATADock will cross when the connector is inserted
into the drive, as shown in the picture below. This is normal.
5. Connect the FireWire or USB cable from your computer into the appropriate port on the dock.
6. Connect power to the dock. 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 dock is now ready to use! Turn on the power 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.
Irregular flickering of the drive access light is normal.

(Windows XP)
Usage with Macintosh Computers
Compatibility
The Forensic SATADock v4 is Plug-and-Play compatible under Mac OS 9.2 and OS X. No drivers are needed.
FireWire 800 ports are FireWire 400 host compatible (a FireWire 800-400 cable or adapter such as WiebeTech’s
Cable-11 is necessary for use with FireWire 400 ports). The USB2 port is USB 1.1 compatible.
Mounting and Ejecting Volumes
Assuming the drive format is recognizable by Mac OS, an icon representing the drive’s
volume will appear (mount) on the desktop. You can begin using the volume right away,
without any possibility of changing the data on the drive.
Eject the volume before powering down the unit by dragging the volume’s icon to the trash
bin, or by selecting the volume then pressing Command-E. Shutting down the unit without
first ejecting the volume can result in data loss.
Usage with Windows computers
Compatibility
The Forensic SATADock v4 is Plug-and-Play compatible with Windows XP. No drivers are needed. FireWire 800
ports are FireWire 400 host compatible (a FireWire 800-400 cable or adapter such as WiebeTech’s Cable-11 is
necessary for use with FireWire 400 ports). The USB2 port is USB 1.1 compatible.
Mounting and Ejecting Volumes
Assuming the drive format is recognizable by Windows, you can begin using the volume right away. When the dock
and drive are properly connected and turned on, a window may open to allow you access to the volume. If no
window appears, you can find the volume by double-clicking the “My Computer” icon.
Eject the dock before powering it down by single-clicking the green arrow icon on the task
bar, then selecting “Safely remove….” Windows will indicate when it is safe to disconnect
the dock. Shutting down the unit without first ejecting the volume can result in data loss.
