Chapter 3 - System Set Up

Connection to your Computer

A few tips on how to connect your external storage enclosure:

•Make sure your PCI Host Card is installed correctly

•Double check that the Host Card driver is up to date

•If required, update your Operating System or BIOS

•Do not cover the Enclosure and leave enough room around

it for the drive to cool down

•Do not expose the product to water or humid conditions

•Always check for visible damage and defects of your unit

and interface cables before using it

•We strongly recommend only using the cables supplied with

your product

For safe removal of

your drive and to

assure that no data

is lost, always

follow the unplug

procedure. If not, an

error message will

show up.

For save removal of

your drive and to

Installation on a Macintosh

Mac OS 9.x or Mac OS 10.x with a USB 1.1 connection:

•Turn on your computer and start Mac OS

•Connect the Freshman Mini

•No driver installation required

•The external drive will mount and show up on your

desktop**

Mac OS 10.2 or 10.3 with a USB 2.0 connection:

•Turn on your computer and start Mac OS

Unplug Procedure:

•Drag the external hard drive icon into the trash bin

•Turn off your device

** For factory new drives and formatting, see “Partitioning &

Formatting”

You can choose to

create several

partitions but be

aware that if you

want to change this

at a later point, it’s

required to format

the drive again or

use 3rd party

software.

Win98/SE and

WinME do not

recognize NTFS

formatted drives, so

if you want to use

your drive on those

platforms, we

recommend you to

use FAT32 instead.

If you use this

device to backup

your data using a

3rd party software

running MS-DOS,

we recommend you

to format the drive

using FAT32.

Partitioning & Formatting

Be aware that this will destroy all your existing data on the drive,

so make sure you have a backup! This step is usually only

required the first time you install a factory new hard drive, if you

change the format or want to erase all data on your drive.

PC running Win98/SE or WinME:

MS-DOS command “fdisk” (press Enter to confirm)

•Type “fdisk” and press Enter

•Select ”Y” and press Enter

•Enter "5” to change the drive

•Select the drive you want to format

•Choose “1” and follow the onscreen instructions
