ToughTech™ mini

USER’S MANUAL

Includes ToughTech XE mini and ToughTech FS mini

(Revised January 16, 2008)

Features

Fast speed – ToughTech mini series uses fast SATA

drives and Oxford 924 (TTXEM) and Oxford 934 (TTFSM)

chipsets to maximize data speeds. Data transfers up to

800 Mbps through FireWire.

Widely Compatible – These ToughTech minis work right

out of the box with no new drivers needed. They work with

any modern operating system including Mac OS X,

Windows XP, Windows Vista and most Linux distributions.

Easy to connect – ToughTech FS mini offers three

different connection types (Dual FireWire 400, eSATA, and

USB 2.0). ToughTech XE mini offers three different connection types (Dual FireWire 800, eSATA, and

USB 2.0). Cables for each type are included. TTXEM comes with a converter cable for FireWire 400.

Easy to Use – ToughTech is used by anyone who needs more storage space for backups, music,

games, Internet downloads, photography, audio/video editing or server storage; and they use it

everywhere from homes to government labs.

Shock absorbers for your hard drive – Your car has shock absorbers, so why not your hard drive? The

ToughTech mini series introduces ToughMount™ Anti-Shock Protection. ToughMount strips are mounted

between the drive and the enclosure protecting your data against shock and reducing enclosure noise.

Cool and quiet – ToughTech has an all aluminum design meant to draw heat away from the hard drive.

The entire product acts like a heat dissipater, helping to keep your drive cool. And because it doesn't

need a fan, ToughTech is quiet.

More portable than ever – Not much bigger than a pack of playing cards, ToughTech mini will easily

travel with you. It fits easily in a shirt pocket or briefcase. You don’t even need to use an AC adapter

when connecting to a powered FireWire host (although a world-compatible AC adapter is included).

Before Installation

1. Check the accessories with your ToughTech mini. Please contact WiebeTech if any items are

missing or damaged. The box should contain:

2. Identify the parts of your ToughTech mini.

3. Please read the following warnings to before beginning installation.

•The main circuit board of the HDD enclosure is susceptible to static electricity. Proper grounding is

required to prevent electrical damage to the enclosure or other connected devices, including the

computer host. Always place the HDD enclosure on a smooth, flat surface and avoid all dramatic

movement, vibration and percussion.

•Do NOT allow water to enter the HDD enclosure.

•Avoid placing the HDD enclosure close to magnetic devices (such as a mobile phone), high-

voltage devices (such as a hair dryer), or near a heat source (such as on the dashboard of a car

or any place where the enclosure will be subject to direct sunlight).

•The operating system may NOT detect the HDD enclosure if it does not support the interface of

your HDD enclosure. If so, installation of an appropriate driver on the host computer is required.

Hard Drive Installation

These instructions are only necessary if you’re installing your own hard drive inside the ToughTech mini.

If you purchased the product with a hard drive pre-installed, you may skip to the next section (Connecting

the ToughTech to a Computer).

1. Remove one screw from each side of the rear panel with a small Phillips screwdriver.

2. Carefully slide the drive tray out from the enclosure.

3. One drive screw is already inserted into the circuit board to prevent movement during shipment.

You’ll need to remove this screw before you can install the hard drive. The screw is held in place by a

plastic nut.

WARNING: The circuit board is susceptible to

static electricity. Proper grounding is required

to prevent electrical damage. Keep the circuit

board away from water.

4. You are now ready to install your 2.5” SATA drive. Line up the drive’s interface with the SATA

interface on the circuit board.

5. You may need to angle the drive as you push it into place. After connecting the drive to the SATA

interface on the circuit board, the drive should lay flat on the board.

6. Secure the drive in place using the included screws. Drive the screws through the bottom of the

circuit board and into the hard drive.

WARNING: DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN

THE SCREWS. This could cause the

circuit board to bend slightly, which

could create a short circuit with the

metal case.

7. Slide the drive tray back into the enclosure.

8. Make sure the LED indicator is properly aligned with opening on the front of the enclosure.

9. Reassemble the enclosure by replacing the screws removed in step 1. The ToughTech mini is now

assembled and ready for connection to a computer.

Connecting the ToughTech to a Computer

Connect the AC/DC power adapter. This step is

only needed when connecting via USB or to an

unpowered FireWire host.

Connect the USB or FireWire cable to the

corresponding port on the ToughTech mini.

Plug the other end of the USB or FireWire cable to an available

port on the computer. Turn on the power switch; ensure that the

green LED indicator is active. When connected via FireWire or

USB, the LED indicator will blink orange when the drive is

accessed.

Your ToughTech is now ready to use!

If your hard drive is already formatted, you can begin using it

right away. New hard drives will need to be formatted before

they can be used.

(Windows XP)

Usage with Macintosh Computers

Compatibility

The ToughTech is fully plug-and-play under Mac OS X. No drivers are needed. The USB2 port is USB 1.1

compatible. ToughTech mini uses SATA (Serial ATA) hard drives only.

Mounting and Unmounting Volumes

If the hard drive installed in the ToughTech is already formatted, an icon representing the drive’s

volume will appear (mount) on the desktop. You can begin using the volume right away. If the

drive is unformatted, a message will appear on the desktop saying that the disk is unreadable.

You can use OS X’s Disk Utility to easily format the drive.

Unmount 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. Disconnecting the unit without first

unmounting the volume can result in data loss.

Booting from your ToughTech

Some Macs support booting from a FireWire device. To activate this feature, you must first install OS X on the

external volume. The easiest way to do this is to clone an existing system drive using a utility such as Carbon Copy

Cloner or Super Duper. Next, go to System Preferences Startup Disk. A window will list the available bootable

volumes. Select the volume from which you wish to boot. Another method is to hold down the Option key during

boot up. A screen should appear that allows you to select the volume you wish to use. This is useful if you wish to

boot from your ToughTech only some of the time.

Usage with Windows Operating System

Compatibility

The ToughTech is fully plug-and-play with Windows XP or Vista. No drivers are needed on these operating systems.

The USB2 port is USB 1.1 compatible. ToughTech mini uses SATA (Serial ATA) hard drives only.

Mounting and Ejecting Volumes

If the hard drive attached to the ToughTech is already formatted, you can begin using the volume right away. When

the ToughTech is 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 ToughTech 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 ToughTech. Disconnecting the unit without first ejecting it can result in

data loss.

Booting from your ToughTech

Some PC motherboards support booting from an external device. To activate this feature, you will need to adjust the

motherboard’s BIOS settings. Check with your motherboard’s manufacturer or owner’s manual for details.
