9.1.3 Mounting and unmounting volumes

If the hard drives installed in RAX are already formatted, an icon representing the drive's volume will

appear (mount) on the desktop. You can begin using the volume right away. If the drive is unformatted,

a message will appear on the desktop saying that the disk is unreadable. You can use OS X's Disk Utility

to easily format the drive (see section above).

Unmount the volume before powering down the unit by dragging the volume's

icon to the trash bin, or by selecting the volume then pressing Command-E.

Disconnecting the unit without first unmounting the volume can result in data

loss.

9.1.4 Creating a Boot Drive

To activate this feature, you must first install OS X on the hard drive in your carrier. The easiest way to do

this is to clone an existing system drive using a utility such as Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper. Next,

go to System Preferences

volume from which you wish to boot. Another method is to hold down the Option key during boot up. A

screen should appear that allows you to select the volume you wish to use. This is useful if you wish to

boot from your RAX hard drive only some of the time.

9.2 Usage with Windows operating systems

9.2.1 Compatibility

RAX uses 3.5-inch SATA (Serial-ATA) hard drives only. RAX does not require drivers for operation under

Windows XP, Vista, or 7. However, if you install a host card specifically to work with this product, that

card may require drivers. See your card's user manual for drivers and instructions.

9.2.2 Formatting a drive

If you purchased your RAX pre-populated with a hard drive, this step should not be necessary unless you

wish to change the format or erase the drive. To format, use the Disk Management utility.

a) Right-click on My Computer, then select Manage. The Computer Management window will open.

b) In the left pane of this window, left-click on Disk Management.

c) The drive should appear in the list of Disks in the lower middle/right pane (see picture below). You

may need to scroll down to see it. If the drive is already formatted, you can identify it easily by its volume

name. If it's unformatted, the Drive Properties Box will say "Unallocated" and you'll need to initialize the

disk before formatting it. Initialize the disk by right-clicking the Device Properties Box and selecting

Initialize Disk.

d) To format the drive, right-click the Drive Properties Box and select Format.

e) If you are prompted to select a partition type, select MBR for volumes 2TB or smaller, or GPT for

volumes larger than 2TB. Note: Windows XP does not support GPT or volumes larger than 2TB.

f) Click through several more windows, leaving the default settings, until you see a window that allows

selection of a file system. Choose NTFS and enter a name for the new volume. Be sure to check the box

labeled "Perform a quick format" unless you want to completely erase any data on the drive and have

time to wait. A quick format should take less than a minute, while standard formatting may take several

hours.
