drive dock and connect the power supply to an outlet.

Run the applicable RDX utility software for the operating system on your
server. See the software documentation that comes with the drive for more
information.
Notes:
a. If you install a new operating system on a server with an RDX drive
attached, make sure that the cartridge is removed. This prevents the
operating system from mistaking the RDX cartridge for the server hard disk
drive.
b. Install the RDX utility software before using the RDX drive.
Note: If the RDX utility is not installed, the cartridge may fail to be ejected.
Installing the RDX utility software
To install the RDX utility application software on a server that is running a
Windows or Linux operating system, see the software documentation that comes
with the drive.
Notes:
1. Installation of the utility software is required for you to use the RDX drive with
a Windows operating system.
2. Install the RDX utility software before using the RDX drive.
Note: If the RDX utility is not installed, the cartridge may fail to be ejected.
