Enclosure and Drive Cradle Overview
The drive enclosure is the enclosure where a SATA hard drive is mounted and
secured by 4 screws.
Drive cradle, also known as fixed tray, is the frame that mounts inside the drive
bay of a desktop, server or any computing equipment. The drive cradle provides
both power and data connection between the computer and the drive enclosure.
The Ruby cipher mobile rack fits into any standard 3 1/4” drive bay and can
connect to the computer via IDE or SCSI. The Ruby mobile rack is compatible
with all Ruby drive enclosures and Ruby cipher drive enclosures.

Step 1: Connect the 40-pin IDE ribbon cable that is connected to the IDE
controller on the motherboard to the 40-pin IDE connector attached at the back of
the Ruby Cipher drive cradle. This is the data connection for the device.
Step 3: Slide the Ruby enclosure inside the cradle. Insert the Cipher key. To turn
ON the drive enclosure, place switch on INT position. Observe that the green
LED on the front of the enclosure lights up.
Note:
If the LED on the front of the Ruby Cipher enclosure lights up as red
color, turn of the system and reseat the cipher key. The LED must turn

Be sure the Ruby cipher key is inserted into the drive enclosure prior to
turning on the power of the drive cradle. The hard drive will not be
detected by the computer if the power to the drive cradle is turned on
without the Cipher key. Under such condition, the power on the drive
cradle will have to be turned off and turned back on again with the
Cipher key already inserted into the drive enclosure in order to detect
the hard drive.
