Introduction
Before you begin to use the drive there are a few important things to learn about your new
product.
Controls, Connectors and Indicators
First familiarize yourself with the features of the unit.
Front Panel Area
The front panel contains only the Activating LED, as illustrated below. The green LED will
come on to indicate the power-on state. The LED will flash during data access.
Rear Panel Area
Along the rear panel you will find the ON/OFF button and the interface connectors. Refer
to the figure below.
1. ON/OFF button. Once the AC Adapter has been properly connected to the drive
32

and an AC outlet, you can press the ON/OFF button to power on the drive. To turn off the
drive, press the ON/OFF button again.
2. DC Input Connector. Connect the DC cable of your included AC Adapter to the DC
Input Connector.
3. USB Connector. Use this connector to attach the drive to your computer via USB.
About the Hard Drive
The hard drive comes pre-formatted in FAT32 format. This format allows for operation with
either Windows or Mac OS.
Note: Capacity dependent on model. 1 MB = 1,000,000 bytes/1 GB = 1,000,000,000
bytes/1 TB = 1,000,000,000,000 bytes. Some capacity used for pre-loaded software,
formatting and other functions, and thus is not available for data storage. As a result,
and due to differing calculation methods, your operating systems may report as fewer
megabytes/gigabytes/terabytes.

Locating the Drive on Your Desk
Place the drive on a sturdy desk or table that is free from clutter that could block airflow
around the unit. The drive is designed to lie flat on its rubber feet, or may stand upright. In
either orientation take care not to block any air vents.
Connecting To Your Computer
Connecting your drive to a computer is extremely simple. Follow the steps below.
1. Connect the included AC Adapter to the drive, and then to a wall outlet.
2. Next press the ON/OFF button on the back of the drive.
3. Finally, connect the data cable. Connect the included USB cable from the USB port on
the drive to an available USB port on your computer.
4. The hard drive will mount automatically, and a new icon will appear in My Computer
(Windows) or a new icon will appear on the desktop (Mac).
If you are using a USB 1.1 port on your Windows computer, the following cautionary note
may appear on your display: Hi-Speed USB Device plugged into non-Hi-Speed USB hub.
This does not indicate a problem because the drive is compatible with both USB 1.1 and
USB 2.0 ports. Simply close the message and proceed. However, in this case the drive will
operate only at USB 1.1 speeds.
Disconnecting Your Hard Drive
Your external hard drive is hot-swappable. It can be connected and disconnected without
restarting your computer. To disconnect your drive at any time, perform the following steps.
You can also disconnect your hard drive at any time while your computer is powered off.
54

Note: Please be careful to follow the correct procedure when disconnecting
your unit. Simply unplugging the unit without first following the instructions
below may result in damage to your unit and/or loss of data.
For Windows Users:
1. If you have files located on your drive open in any applications, close them.
2. Click the Unplug or Eject Hardware button in the System Tray.
3. Select your drive from the menu that appears.
4. After a moment, Windows will display a message that your hardware can be safely
removed.
For Mac OS Users:
1. If you have files located on your drive open in any applications, close them.
2. Locate the icon for your drive on the desktop, and drag it to the trash.

Introduction
Avant de commencer à utiliser le périphérique, vous devez apprendre certains éléments
importants au sujet de votre nouveau produit.
Contrôles, connecteurs et indicateurs
Familiarisez-vous d’abord avec les fonctions de l’appareil.
Section du panneau avant
Le panneau avant comprend seulement la touche LED de déclenchement, comme illustré
ci-dessous. La DEL verte pour indiquer l’état d’alimentation. Elle clignotera durant l’accès
aux données.
Section du panneau arrière
Vous verrez le long du panneau arrière le touche ON/OFF (MARCHE/ARRÊT) et les
connecteurs d’interface. Reportez-vous à la figure ci-dessous.
1. Touche ON/OFF (MARCHE/ARRÊT). Après avoir branché correctement l’adaptateur c.a.
1110

au périphérique et dans une prise c.a., vous pouvez appuyer sur la touche ON/OFF
(MARCHE/ARRÊT) pour allumer le disque. Pour éteindre le périphérique, réappuyez sur
la touche ON/OFF (MARCHE/ARRÊT).
2. Connecteur d’entrée c.c. Branchez le câble c.c. de votre adaptateur c.a. (inclus) au
connecteur d’entrée c.c.
3. Connecteur USB. Utilisez ce connecteur pour brancher le périphérique à votre ordina
teur par USB.
Quelques mots sur le disque dur
Le disque dur est fourni préformaté au format FAT32. Ce format permet de fonctionner soit
sous Windows soit sous Mac OS.
Remarque : 1 Mo = 1,000,000 octets/1 Go = 1,000,000,000 octets/1 TB =
1,000,000,000,000 octets. Une certaine capacité est utilisée pour le logiciel
préchargé, le formatage et d’autres fonctions et n’est donc pas disponible pour
le stockage de données. Pour cette raison et à cause de différentes méthodes
de calcul, votre système d’exploitation pourrait rapporter une capacité comme
moins de mégaoctets/gigaoctets/téraoctets.
