2. Usage

2.1 Usage with Mac OS X

Formatting Volumes

When you connect an unformatted drive to the Mac, you should see a dialogue box telling you

that the drive inserted is unreadable. Use Disk Utility to format the drive. Click "Initialize"

and the Mac's Disk Utility will open. (If for some reason you do not see the dialog, Disk Utility

can be founder Applications -> Utilities) From the Disk Utility, click on the Erase tab. Enter

the name you want for the volume in the name box and select your formatting from the other.

Use "Mac OS Extended" (Journaling is OK) for compatibility with Mac computers. If you plan

to work on both Mac and Windows computers you will want to select "MS-Dos" as your

formatting type. Click erase and then click erase again in the dialogue box that appears. The

Disk Utility will show a progress bar and when it completes the drive's icon should appear on

the desktop. The drive can now be used just like an internal drive.

Ejecting Volumes

It is always important to eject your drive from the computer before powering down or

disconnecting the RTX. Powering off or disconnecting without ejecting first could cause data

loss. To eject a drive, drag the drive's icon from the desktop to the Trash. Alternatively you

can select the disk and press Command+E.

2.2 Usage with Windows operating systems

Formatting Volumes

When you connect an unformatted drive to a Windows PC, it will not appear in Explorer until

it is formatted. To format, use Disk Management. Right-click on the My Computer icon and

select "manage." Then select Disk Management from the tree on the left. The "Initialize and

Convert" Wizard should appear. Follow this dialogue to initialize your new drive. If it does not

appear you can initialize your drive manually by right clicking where you see "Not Initialized"

and select "Initialize Disk." Next, right click on your new drive in the Disk Management

window and select "New Partition or Format." Follow the dialogue boxes and make sure to

select "Perform Quick Format" option when you see it. Once the process is complete the drive

should appear in Explorer and under My Computer just like your internal drives.

Ejecting Volumes

It is always important to eject your drive from the computer before powering down or

disconnecting the RTX. Powering off or disconnecting without ejecting first could cause

data loss. To eject a drive connected via USB select the device from the Safely Remove

Hardware option in the taskbar. Drives connected via eSATA can be uninstalled using the

Device Manager.
