Installation

Installation (Continued)
Connect the other end of the USB cable to the USB port on the computer
or device you are adding the DriveStation to.
The DriveStation will install automatically.
On a Windows computer, the new drive will be available in My Computer.
By default it will use the rst available drive letter and will be named HD-
CEU2. With a Mac, the new drive will appear on the desktop.
Format
By default, the DriveStation is formatted with FAT32, allowing it to be used
with OS X, Windows, and Linux operating systems. If you’re going to use
it with programs that generate lesizes larger than 4GB, such as backup
or video editing software, reformat the DriveStation as an NTFS drive
(Windows), a Mac OS Extended drive (Mac), or an XFS drive (Linux).

utilities, execute DriveNavi.exe, located on your DriveStation or available

proceeding tests veried that the hard drive is spinning, then please contact
technical support for further assistance.
