Connecting NAS drive
Using USB
Connecting your NAS drive to a USB host, such as a PC or Mac, is extremely
simple. Follow the steps below.
Note: If your computer is running Windows 98 Second Edition, you
will need some additional software that you can download from the
Verbatim web site. Refer to the Getting Help section.

the NAS drive to an available USB port on your computer.
The NAS drive will mount automatically, and a new icon will

appear in
My Computer
(Windows) or a new icon will appear on
the desktop (Mac).
Note: If you are using a USB 1.1 port on your Windows computer, the
following cautionary note may appear on your display: Hi-Speed USB
Device plugged into non-Hi-Speed USB hub. This does not indicate a
problem because the NAS drive is compatible with both USB 1.1 and
USB 2.0 ports. Simply close the message and proceed. However, in this
case the NAS drive will operate only at USB 1.1 speeds.
