Format the HDD on a Mac
If the HDD is not formatted and installed to EH-25MP, your
Mac cannot detect the HDD until it is formatted. Follow the
procedure to use the
Disk Utility
to format the 2,5” HDD
first. Mac OS 9.2 and earlier do not support creating
partitions in an external drive. To do that, you would need to
purchase an additional 3
rd
party software. Connect the external
drive to the internal IDE bus or upgrade to OS X. Initializing
the drive can be done on all operation systems. For Mac OS
X, use the Disk Utility to format and create partitions on the
external drive.
Select “Disk Utility” in the utilities folder
Choose the external drive and format it according to your
equipment. For Mac only, choose “Mac OS extended”.
Connect EH-25MP to a Mac
There is no need to install any driver before connecting
EH-25MP to a Mac OS 10.0 or higher version.
Use the supplied USB cable to connect EH-25MP to the
Mac USB port.
When powering on EH-25MP, the device will be detected
and an icon is shown.
Now the installation of EH-25MP has been successful.
Next step, you can save any data, movie, music or photo
files to the HDD of EH-25MP.
Remove EH-25MP safely from a Mac
Remove EH-25MP safely by dragging the icon to the trash
sector and unplug the EH-25MP. The data and EH-25MP may
be damaged if EH-25MP is removed directly and not
according to the above mentioned procedure.
