obstructs the ventilation slots, and leave at least 10cm
clearance on all sides);
- no direct heat sources (e.g. heating) can affect the
device;
- no direct sunlight or bright artificial light reaches the

this may cause a short circuit or electric shock. Never
place the device, heavy objects or furniture on the cable
and make sure that the cord does not bend too much,
especially at the plug and sockets. Never make knots in
the cable and do not tie it together with other cords. All
cables should be positioned so that nobody can trip over
them or be obstructed by them.

Connecting via an USB Cable
1. Insert the flat connector labelled “Data/Power” [4] of the
USB cable into a free USB port on your desktop PC or
notebook.
2. Next connect the other connector [3] of the USB cable to
the USB port [2] of your Silvercrest MoBox.
3. The operating system will automatically detect that a new
USB device has been connected and will install the
corresponding driver.
4. Only if required, plug the second USB connector labelled
“Power” [5] to another USB port. This will ensure that
there will be enough power available for using the
product without any problems.
On first-time connection of the Silvercrest MoBox, the
operating system will notify of the detection of new hardware
with this message:
Figure: Installation message (message depending on
operating system)
The built-in hard disk has already been formatted with the
NTFS file system and is therefore ready for immediate use.
The Silvercrest MoBox shows as a new disk in "Computer"
with a drive letter assigned by the operating system. The
drive letter assigned depends on the number of disk drives
you already have connected to your computer.
Figure: “Computer” window showing the
Silvercrest MoBox

English Silvercrest MoBox

After this installation you can use the new Silvercrest MoBox
hard disk in exactly the same way as any other hard disk on
your computer. Silvercrest MoBox fields of application
include:
- Moving or copying files or folders from other drives, CD-
ROMs or other media
- Installing and opening all kinds of program files on the
new hard disk
- Saving video clips, games and other data
- Making safety copies of important data from your PC
(backup)
Note on Installing Applications
Your Silvercrest MoBox lets you install and execute
applications just like any other disk drive. Please note,
however, that most Windows-based applications that have
been installed on the Silvercrest MoBox are only operational
on the computer on which the applications were installed. On
installation, additional software information is frequently
copied to the partition of the operating system (usually C
drive), necessary for the execution of the application. If you
use the Silvercrest MoBox on another computer, this
additional information will be missing. If you connect the
Silvercrest MoBox once again to a computer to which the
application had previously been installed, the application will
function perfectly.
Formatting and Partitioning
The Silvercrest MoBox factory default settings are already
formatted with the NTFS file system. It is therefore not
necessary to format again if you do not wish to change the
file system or the partitioning.
When using the MoBox for AV
applications, it may be necessary to use
the FAT32 file system.

Silvercrest MoBox English
11
If you format the Silvercrest MoBox, all
data saved onto the hard disk will be
deleted. Make backup copies of all data
that you wish to use again after the
formatting.
To format your MoBox, select the following path:
[Start] > [Control Panel] > [System and Security] >
[Administrative Tools] > [Computer Management] > [Disk
Management]
Right-click on the Silvercrest MoBox icon and select the
“Format…” command from the context menu to format the
existing partition.
If you want to change the hard disk partitioning, please read
the operating system Online Help to find out how to proceed.
To do this, please enter “Partition” as a search term.
Disconnecting
The Silvercrest MoBox can be connected to, and removed
from, the computer while the computer is powered on.
However, if you remove the MoBox from the computer
without disconnecting it properly from the operating system,
file damage or loss of data may occur.
Click with the left mouse button on the "Safely Remove
Hardware" icon in the task bar beside the system clock. If the
icon is not visible, you will need to maximise the window by
clicking on the Maximize icon.
Figure: Safely remove hardware example from
Windows® 7
In the window that follows it is possible that more than one
external device is displayed. Select the Silvercrest MoBox by
left-licking on it. A message will soon appear, indicating that
you can now safely remove the Silvercrest MoBox.

English Silvercrest MoBox

Troubleshooting
The computer does not detect the Silvercrest MoBox.
The connector labelled “Data/Power” must as a minimum
be plugged into the computer. If the device fails to
respond, you must plug the second USB connector into
an available USB port of your computer too.
You may also try different USB ports.
Do not use any USB extension cords.
Installed applications do not execute on another
computer.
When installing any applications on an external hard disk,
this application will normally run on the computer where it
had originally been installed.
The Silvercrest MoBox makes a noise.
A low noise level is normal during operation.
Some data has disappeared from the Silvercrest MoBox.
If you have copied data, it is necessary to safely remove
the USB device from the operating system otherwise loss
of data may occur.
The data transmission is very slow.
Make sure that you are using a USB port that supports
standard 2.0. USB 1.1 ports offer a much slower data
transfer.
