3. Mounting disks in the Master Caddy II
Mounting drives in the Master Caddy II
Insert the disk into the caddy, and secure with four screws. The caddy is
light and the disk just needs to be held securely. Don’t over-tighten the
screws. There are no connections to make because sliding the caddy
into the Sumo19 or the Docking station makes all the connections for you.
The Master Caddy can’t be inserted the wrong way round. Always make
sure that the disk connector faces the slot in the Sumo19. You have to be

Spinning disks and SSDs are very sensitive to damage from
static electricity. Please observe all the usual precautions
when handling them, especially DO NOT EVER touch the exposed
SATA connector as static electricity may be harmful
to your disk.
Master Caddy II drives are backwards compatible with previous
Atomos recorders, however Master Caddy 1 is not forward
compatible with the Sumo19 due to the compact latch design.
