 Click “Next” and then “Finish” to start the format process.  When the format is complete, the Drive 

Properties Box will update to show the new volume name.  The new volume can now be found in My

9.2.3 Mounting and ejecting volumes 

If the hard drives attached to RAX are already formatted, you can begin 
using the volume right away.  When the unit is properly connected and 
turned on, a window may open to allow you access to the volume.  If no 
window appears, you can find the volume by double-clicking “My Computer.”  
 
Eject the RAX before powering it down by single-clicking the green arrow icon on 
the task bar, then selecting “Safely remove….”  Windows will indicate when it is 
safe to disconnect RAX.  Disconnecting the unit without first ejecting it can result in data loss.   

9.2.4 Creating a Boot Drive 

Some PC motherboards support booting from an external device.  To activate this feature, you will need 
to adjust the motherboard’s BIOS settings.  Check with your motherboard’s manufacturer or owner’s 
manual for details.
