Newer Technology miniStack v3 Owner's Manual & Assembly Guide

Thank you for purchasing your Newer Technology
miniStack, the easiest, most compact way to add
storage and expandability to your computer!
The miniStack was designed with the Apple
Mac mini in mind, but works perfectly with ANY
computer.
Special Features of the Newer Technology miniStack v3
Cooling:
The Newer Technology miniStack v3 is made of high quality
plastic and integrates a smart interactive cooling system, which
automatically regulates and varies fan speed according to the
temperature of the hard drive. It also has a built in passive
aluminum radiator on the bottom of the miniStack v3, which
dissipates heat away from the hard drive without having to use
the cooling fan. This system extends the life of your hard drive by
keeping it cooler than a traditional external hard drive enclosure.
External Expansion:
The Newer Technology miniStack v3 features built in USB 2.0 and
FireWire 400/800 (1394a & 1394b) hubs allowing you to expand
your peripherals without adding external hubs which clutter up
your desk.
Internal Storage:
The Newer Technology miniStack v3 has a built in SATA
connector which supports large drive technology, oering
massive FAST storage capacity! Simply place your own SATA hard
drive inside the miniStack v3 enclosure and connect using any of
the 4 interfaces available - eSATA, FireWire 800 / 400, or USB 2.0.
Formatting for use with Mac OS X:
Once formatted, you’re all set! Your new Newer Technology
miniStack v3 is ready to use! Connect any USB or FireWire
peripherals to the hubs and enjoy!
