Questions and Answer with step by step instruction for CB-ISA225-U3 [#33450]

Click here to access the instruction.

3.5" IDE drive will not spin up when connected to power and adapter - CB-ISATAU2, CB-ISA225-U3 [#05052020]

On rare conditions using CB-ISATAU2 or CB-ISA225-U3 adapter, the 3.5" IDE will not spin up when connected to power and the USB adapter.
This is caused by a circuit loop between the drive with the USB adapter and it will short out the ac adapter. It prevents the ac adapter from functioning and providing power to the drive to spin up.

Try the following:

1) Have everything disconnected

2) Reboot the computer

3) For a 3.5” IDE drive, there are jumpers in the drive that may need to change for it to work correctly with this adapter. Check the instruction on the label of the drive, it should show the jumper setting for a different setup like Master, Slave, CS (Cable Select) setting. Make sure the hard drive is set into MASTER Drive Mode only. Sometimes in very rare cases, using Master Drive Mode is still not working correctly; you should try other Mode.

4) Follow the instruction for your CB-ISATAU2 or CB-ISA225-U3 for connecting the power supply ONLY to the drive. Turn On the power switch and let the drive spin up.

5) Once it starts to spin, plug the USB adapter IDE connection to the Drive IDE, continue to let it spin up for 30 seconds.

6) After the 30 seconds is up, connect the USB to your computer, you should see the LED on the adapter lit up.

7) Wait while the computer detects the device and automatically installs USB drivers. (Sometimes older drives may take as long as 45 seconds to a whole minute to be detected)

8) Once the drivers are installed, the computer should see the hard drive in the File explorer (for Mac, see a USB icon of the drive on the desktop).
