Glyph Manager Operation In Mac OS X

The GT 062E ships in RAID 0 mode, and drive mode changes are done by using the Glyph Manager software

utility (not the OS X Disk Utility). Disk Utility is used to format the new device after drive mode changes are

made.

READ THIS FIRST!

Changing drive modes with Glyph Manager will require you to re-format the GT 062E, and

result in erasing all of the current data on the drive. Make sure you backup all data before doing so!

To change the drive mode, follow these steps:

1. Install Glyph Manager software.

2. Connect the GT 062E via FireWire or USB, and open Glyph Manager software. If you have more than one

GT 062E connected, choose the desired unit from the list on the left. You can identify the units by their vol-

ume names, or by their PCBA serial numbers, which are located on a sticker on the bottom of each unit. The

serial number in Glyph Manager should match the PCBA serial number on the sticker.

NOTE:

To change drive modes, the GT 062E must be connected via FireWire or USB. Glyph Manager will

monitor an eSATA connected GT 062E, but will not allow you to change drive modes.
