Taurus - USB                                                                                                   User Guide 

 

 

 

 

If the system 

doesn’t recognise 

the drive, turn on 

the power first, 

before connecting 

the interface cable 

or connect the 

device before 

booting your 

Operating System. 

 

 

 

 

 

Alternatively, you 

can press and hold 

the USB backup 

button for three 

seconds to remove 

the device. 

 

 

 

 

Installation on a PC 

Before connecting the device, make sure the JBOD jumper is 

configured according to your requirements. 

 

If the drives have been pre-installed and setup already, you do 

not need to change anything, unless you prefer a different 

setup. 

 

  Turn on your Computer and start Windows 

  Connect the Taurus and turn it on 

  Let Windows search and install the driver automatically 

  Open “My Computer” to see your external hard drive 

 

For factory new drives and more info about formatting, see 

“Partitioning & Formatting”. 

 

 

Remove Procedure 

For the safe removal of your drive and to assure that no data is 

lost, always follow the correct unplug procedure. Otherwise, an 

error message will appear. 

 

  Click on the taskbar icon for external hardware 

 

 

  Choose your external hard drive and confirm to remove it 

 

 

 

When there is another USB device connected to the front port 

of the Taurus, pressing the USB backup button for 3 seconds 

will eject it. Pressing the button a second time (3 seconds 

again) will remove the Taurus from your computer.
