Preparing the drive

Screw the HDD into the adapter case using the screws provided with the adapter making sure the disk faces the right way or else you may just find yourself looking for the ports that are nowhere to be seen.
Its important for the drive to be firmly secure so it doesn't shake as HDD can get damaged from falls or, at times, just moving around. Its less common this days but still possible
Align the connectors on the adapter to the ones on the disk
Don't worry about the 4 pins left unused as they are jumper pins and were used in IDE to, mainly, define master and slave disks.
