ELETING HARD DISKS FROM THE SYSTEM
Depending on the operating system, the external hard disk
must be disconnected before it can be deleted. This is usually
the case for Windows 2000. Read how this works in the help
files of your operating system.
1.
Disconnect the hard disk from the operating system if
necessary.
2.
Press the on/off button on the hard disk.
3.
Now pull out the plug and disconnect all the connection
cables from the external hard disk.
Â
Caution
: While accessing the hard disk, the hard
disk must not be deleted or turned off. This can lead
to data loss.
Â
You can see that data is being transmitted when the
LED display flashes orange
. When the LED dis-
play is green, no data is being transmitted. How-
ever, you should make sure that all files that you
have opened from the hard disk (documents, etc.)
have been closed again before you delete or turn off
the hard disk.
Â
When the hard disk is turned off, the
plug can be
pulled out of the socket
so it does not consume
any electricity.
