Connecting the Drive
1. Turn ON your computer and wait until it fully boots up to load all programs.
2. While the Rocpro 850’s switch is OFF, connect one end of the power cord directly to the Rocpro 850 and the other
end to an AC outlet, surge protector or battery Backup (UPS).
3. Using only one interface cable at a time, select the interface port you wish to use on your computer. When using
FireWire, connect one end of the FireWire cable to the appropriate FireWire port (FW800 or FW400) of your computer
and then the other end to the FireWire port in the Rocpro 850. When using USB, connect one end of the USB cable
to the USB port of your computer (or via Power Hub that is connected to your computer) and then the other end to the
USB port in the Rocpro 850. When using eSATA, connect one end of the SATA cable to the SATA ports of your
computer and then the other end to the SATA port in the Rocpro 850 device.
4. Turn the Rocpro 850 Hard Drive switch ON.
5. The Hard drive is preformatted for Plug-and-Play operation. After a few seconds a Rocstor HD icon will show on
“My Computer” folder under the Windows OS. Under the Mac OS, the Rocport HD will appear on the “Desktop.”
6. Click (double click) on the Rocstor HD icon to access the drive.
