Installation Note

Professional installation is strongly recommended to ensure proper functionality. When connecting the drive, ensure the cable is aligned with the center of the hard disk interface — all 24 gold finger contacts must correspond one-to-one with the 24 pin positions. Incorrect alignment will result in the drive not being recognized. Please also note that the LIF connector orientation may be reversed depending on your specific drive model — double-check polarity before inserting.
