Hardware setup steps 1 through 4 are a good way to connect your new drive to your computer, but you don't always need to follow this sequence. For example, if you want to attach your drive after your computer has already booted, you can simply connect the interface cable, turn on power to the drive, and your OS automatically detects and mounts the drive. This is known as hot-plugging.
