1.4 FRONT VIEW

1.4.1 LED Indicators

1. Power — This LED will emit a solid blue light

when the Guardian MAXimus is powered on.

2.HDD1/HDD2 — These LEDs represent the

two hard drives (HDDs) inside the Guardian

MAXimus. During normal activity, each of

these LEDs will blink green when the corre-

sponding drive is accessed. If one of the hard

drives in the Guardian MAXimus fails, or if the

drive bay is empty, the corresponding LED will

turn solid red. If the Guardian MAXimus is set

up as a RAID 1 and one of the hard drives is be-

ing rebuilt, the corresponding LED will blink

red.

3. Rebuild — If the Guardian MAXimus is set up

as a RAID 1 and one of the hard drives is being

rebuilt, this LED will blink green during the

rebuild process.

2.eSATA (3Gb/s) port — Attach the included eSATA cable here.

3. FireWire 800 ports — Attach the included 9-9 pin FireWire 800 cable to one of these

ports and to your computer. Use the other FireWire 800 port to daisy chain other

FireWire 800 devices.

5. Power input — Connect the included power supply here.

6. On/o switch — Turn on and oﬀ the Guardian MAXimus here.

7. Kensington® Security Slot — Connect a security tether here.

NOTE:

•Only one interface (USB 3.0, eSATA, FireWire 800, Firewire 400) at a time can be used.

When more than one interface cable is connected, the fastest interface has priority.

•For the safe removal of your drive and to assure that no data is lost, always eject or un-

mount the drive from your operating system before powering oﬀ.

•In order for the computer to access volumes larger than 2TB, the operating system

needs to support large volumes (e.g., Windows Vista or Mac OS X 10.4 and above).

NEWERTECH GUARDIAN MAXIMUS SYSTEM SETUP

SYSTEM SETUP

2.1 QUICK START

If you purchased the Guardian MAXimus as an empty enclosure, proceed to Section 2.2,

Assembly. If you purchased the Guardian MAXimus with drives already installed, the New-

erTech NuDrive formatting utility has been installed on your Guardian MAXimus. Follow

these steps to use NuDrive to format your Guardian MAXimus for Mac OS X (10.4 and later)

or Windows (XP and later).

1. Connect your drive to your computer using the proper cable, then turn on your drive. If

you prefer to use a diﬀerent formatting utility, do so at this time and skip the rest of these

instructions.

2. Your drive will show up as “Newer HD”. Open your drive to view its contents.

3. Open the “Macintosh Setup” or “Windows Setup” folder, depending on the computer’s

operating system, then double-click the NuDrive application.

4. Follow the simple on-screen instructions to complete the formatting process.

5. Once the formatting is ﬁnished the drive is ready to use.

2.2 ASSEMBLY

NOTE: The following assembly instructions are written for users who purchased the Guard-

ian MAXimus as an empty enclosure. The instructions show how to open the Guardian

MAXimus in order to change the RAID settings and install drives. If you purchased the

Guardian MAXimus with drives already installed, opening the Guardian MAXimus before

the expiration of the original warranty will VOID the warranty. If you wish to remove

or replace the drives after the expiration of the original warranty, you may do so at that

time. The DIP switches that control the RAID settings can be accessed without opening the

Guardian MAXimus by removing the clip-in fan at the back.

1. Remove the Guardian MAXimus from the retail box and the protective plastic bag. Set

the Guardian MAXimus on its side and look at the bottom of the enclosure. Use a Phillips

screwdriver to remove the two screws, as circled below in red.

NEWERTECH GUARDIAN MAXIMUS SYSTEM SETUP

2. Once the two screws have been removed, slide the inner chassis out of the front of the

outer enclosure, as shown below. Start by pushing on the rear of the inner chassis, then

when you are able to get a grip on the front grill of the inner chassis, pull it the rest of the

way.

3. When removed from the outer enclosure, the inner chassis will appear as shown below.

There will also be a packet of screws inside. Remove this packet and use the screws as di-

rected later in the assembly instructions. Note the blue block containing three white DIP

(Dual In-line Package) switches. These switches are used to control the RAID mode. See

Section 2.3, RAID Settings for more information.

NEWERTECH GUARDIAN MAXIMUS SYSTEM SETUP

4. Install the ﬁrst hard drive (HDD1), as shown to the left. Slide

the SATA connector on the hard drive into the black SATA

connector circled in red. Make sure the drive is ﬁrmly seated

in the black SATA connector before proceeding.

NOTE: In this picture, the cabling to connect the second hard

drive has been removed. This was done to provide a

better image of the drive installation only. Do not re-

move any cabling from the Guardian MAXimus.

5. Install the second hard drive (HDD2), as shown below. Insert the SATA connector from the

Guardian MAXimus into the SATA connector on the hard drive. Make sure the SATA con-

nectors are seated ﬁrmly before continuing.

NOTE: Make sure that the ﬂat red cable is twisted as shown below to the right. The cable is

designed to be twisted this way in order to avoid interfering with the exhaust fan at

the rear of the Guardian MAXimus.

NEWERTECH GUARDIAN MAXIMUS SYSTEM SETUP

6. Using eight of the larger screws from the packet you removed from the inner chassis,

fasten the hard drives into the inner chassis. There are four screw holes on each side of the

inner chassis, as circled below in red.

7. Slide the inner chassis back into the outer enclosure. Note that while the inner chassis can

slide into both sides of the outer enclosure, there is only one correct way that will allow

the screw holes to line up correctly. To determine the correct orientation of the outer

enclosure with the inner chassis, turn the outer enclosure on its side and look at the bot-

tom. As shown below, the screw holes at the front of the outer enclosure are close to the

silicone feet. The screw holes at the rear of the outer enclosure are farther away from the

silicone feet.

8. Once you have determined the correct orientation, slide the inner chassis back into the

outer enclosure, as shown below.

9. Once the front grill of the inner chassis sits ﬂush with the edge of the outer enclosure,

turn the Guardian MAXimus on its side again to look at the screw holes on the bottom.

You should be able to see that the screw holes in the outer enclosure line up with the

screw holes in the inner chassis. Use the four smaller screws to fasten the inner chassis

to the outer enclosure, as shown below. The assembly of the Guardian MAXimus is now

complete.
