The drive must be
formatted using the
FAT32 file system
(MS-DOS).
If Mac OS extended
is used, the drive
will only be
recognised on USB.
If you can not see
the drive, make
sure the jumper
settings of your
hard drive are
correct, there are
no extension
conflicts and the
power is turned on!
You can choose to
create several
partitions through
USB but be aware
that the only the
first partition is
recognised on the
network (LAN disk
function).
Mac OS
:
Mac OS9.2 and earlier, do not support creating partitions on an
external drive. To perform this function, you will need additional
3
rd
party software, which is not supplied you’re your unit.
Alternatively, you can connect the drive to the internal IDE bus
or upgrade to OS X.
For Mac OS X, use the Disk Utility to format and create
partitions on your external disk.
•
Select “Disk Utility” in the utilities folder
•
Choose your external drive and create a FAT32 partition
(also called MS-DOS on the Mac)
Alternatively, you can also format the LAN disk using the disk
utility option. Connect the device to your LAN, login, go to disk
utility and choose “Format”.
