Safety instructions

Please read this chapter carefully and observe all listed notes. This will

ensure reliable operation and long life expectancy of your product.

Keep these instructions with your product at all times. The proper set

up, use and care can help extend the life of your product. In the event

that you transfer ownership of this product, please provide these

instructions to the new owner.

Safety and installation

Never allow children to use electronic devices unsupervised.

Children may not always correctly identify potential hazards.

Hard disks are extremely fragile. Never drop or shake the hard

drive - this could irreversibly damage the data on the hard disk.

Be especially careful when transporting the hard disk. We

provide no guarantee for this type of damage.

The hard drive can become warm after prolonged use.

Never open the hard disk casing. If you do so, the hard disk will

no longer be covered by the guarantee.

The hard disk is not designed for use in commercial

applications/situations.

After transportation, wait until the equipment is at room

temperature before turning it on. If there is a large difference in

temperature or humidity, damp can build up through

condensation and cause an electrical short circuit.

Keep your hard disk and all connected equipment away from

damp and avoid dust, heat and direct sunlight in order to

prevent operational problems.

In order to avoid damage from a fall, place the hard disk on a

stable and level surface which does not vibrate.

For additional safety, we recommend using power connection

through a power surge protection unit in order to protect your

equipment from power surges and lightning strikes.

The voltages and interfaces used in the equipment are in line

with the low voltage protection guidelines set out in EN60950.

Connections to other equipment may only be made using similar

interfaces with low voltage protection in accordance with EN

60950.

Please use our Service Center if you have any technical problems

with your hard disk. If repairs are needed, please use exclusively

our authorised service partners.

In the first hours of operation, new devices may emit a typical,

unavoidable but completely harmless smell, which will decline

increasingly in the course of time.

We recommend that you ventilate the room regularly, in order to

counteract the formation of the smell.

Cabling

Route the cable so that no one can step on it or stumble over it.

To avoid damage to the cable do not place any objects or

furniture on it.

Setting up

Connecting the cables

Connect the external hard disk to your computer using a free USB

port. You can also connect the hard disk to computers with a USB 1.1

port however the speed of transmission will be slower.

USB connection (Back view)

1. Start your computer and wait until Windows®has been fully

loaded.

2. Connect the mini-USB connector of the supplied Y-cable to the

USB port of your external hard disk.

3. Connect the other end of the Y-cable which has two USB Type-A

connectors with the following labels:

The ‘MAIN’ connector must be connected to your PC / Notebook

at all times when in use; the ‘AUX’ is an addition power source,

in case your PC / Notebook does not supply sufficient power

strength with one USB port.

4. With Windows®XP/Vista/Windows® 7 the hard disk will be

automatically recognized and connected.

Installing the hard disk

Note

Your drive has already been set up in the factory. It will not

be necessary to reformat or repartition it.

Caution!

Partitioning or formatting a disk drive deletes data. We

assume no responsibility for lost data.

Before you install your hard disk ...

We would like to remind you once again that when installing the new

hard disk some programs are used that could cause your data to be

irreversibly lost if used incorrectly.

Note

Make a backup of all your data and check that the recovery

procedure works.

Partitioning programmes

With Windows® Vista/XP/ Windows® 7 the Windows Disk

Management Tool help program in order to install the hard disk.

You can find the program in the computer management.

With some operating systems you must have administration rights to

install a hard disk.

Look under help in Windows for detailed information on using this

program.

Partitioning the drive

Partitioning a drive divides the space into different areas which can be

accessed as separate logic drives (with letters C:, D:, E: etc.). Read the

manual of your operating system to find out how to partition hard

drives with your particular system.

Formatting the drive

In order to remove data from the hard disk, the partitions must be

formatted.

Caution!

You must be totally sure about which drive letter to enter so

that you don’t format a drive that contains data you wish to

keep.

You can carry out the partitioning using Windows®Explorer (right click

on the drive and select format).

Read which formatting options you have in the next section.

Choosing between NTFS, FAT, and FAT32

When you use Windows XP/Vista/Windows® 7 and Windows 2000 you

can choose between three file systems for disk partitions: NTFS, FAT,

and FAT32. Use the information below to compare the file systems.

NTFS is the recommended file system for the following reasons:

NTFS is more powerful than FAT or FAT32, and includes features

required for hosting Active Directory as well as other important

security features. You can use features such as Active Directory and

domain-based security only by choosing NTFS as your file system.

It is easy to convert partitions to NTFS. The Setup program makes

conversion easy, whether your partitions used FAT, FAT32, or the

older version of NTFS. This kind of conversion keeps your files intact

(unlike formatting a partition). If you do not need to keep your files

intact and you have a FAT or FAT32 partition, it is recommended that

you format the partition with NTFS rather than convert from FAT or

FAT32. Formatting a partition erases all data on the partition and

allows you to start with a clean drive.

Whether a partition is formatted with NTFS or converted using the

convert command, NTFS is the better choice of file system. (For more

information about Convert.exe, after completing Setup, click Start,

click Run, type cmd, and then press ENTER. In the command window,

type help convert and then press ENTER.)

In order to maintain access control on files and folders and support

limited accounts, you must use NTFS. If you use FAT32, all users will

have access to all files on your hard drive, regardless of their account

type (administrator, limited, or standard.)

NTFS is the file system that works best with large disks. (The next best

file system for large disks is FAT32.)

There is one situation in which you might want to choose FAT or

FAT32 as your file system. If it is necessary to have a computer that will

sometimes run an earlier version of Windows and other times run

REP. IRELAND HELPLINE 1-800-992508

(calls are charged at 7p per min from a standard landline, calls from mobiles could be

higher)

Windows XP, you will need to have a FAT or FAT32 partition as the

primary (or startup) partition on the hard disk. Earlier versions of

Windows cannot access a partition if it uses the latest version of NTFS.

The two exceptions are Windows 2000 and Windows NT 4.0 with

Service Pack 4 or later.

For anything other than a situation with multiple operating systems

the recommended file system is NTFS.

Important

Once you convert a drive or partition to NTFS, you cannot

simply convert it back to FAT or FAT32. You will need to

reformat the drive or partition which will erase all data

including programs and personal files on the partition.

The following table describes the compatibility of each file system with

various operating systems.

NTFS FAT FAT32

A computer running

Windows XP / Vista /

Windows® 7 or Windows

2000 can access files on

an NTFS partition. A

computer running

Windows NT 4.0 with

Service Pack 4 or later

might be able to access

some files. Other

operating systems allow

no access.

Access is

available

through MS-

DOS, all versions

of Windows,

Windows NT,

Windows 2000,

Windows XP /

Vista / Windows®

7, and OS/2.

Access is available

only through

Windows 95 OSR2,

Windows 98,

Windows

Millennium Edition,

Windows 2000,

and Windows XP /

Vista / Windows® 7.
