About the Hard Drive
The hard drive comes pre-formatted in FAT32 format. This format allows for operation with either Windows or Mac OS.
Locating the Drive on your Desk
Place the drive on a sturdy desk or table that is free from clutter that could block airflow around the unit. The drive
can be used in either the horizontal or vertical position. Please install the attachable rubber feet as shown below
depending on which orientation you prefer. In either orientation, take care not to block any air vents.
Bundled Software
The included CD-ROM contains copies of the User Guide, as well as four optional software utilities: (1) Acronis
backup software, (2) MachUSB handler to improve USB transfer speed, (3) RAID Monitor to display current RAID
configuration parameters, and (4) FAT32tool, which may be used to format the array to FAT32.
Acronis Backup Software (Windows)
Acronis backup software is included on CD-ROM. To install this application on your Windows computer, open the Acro-
nis folder on the CD and then double click the setup file to start installation. The Acronis installation window will appear.
Follow the setup wizard to install the software. User documentation can also be found on the CD.
MachUSB Handler (Windows and Macintosh)
To install this application on your Windows or Macintosh computer, open the MacUSB folder on the CD and double click
the installation file. The handler will remain active in the background and will accelerate USB data transfers whenever
your PowerBay single bay drive is attached.

To install this application on your Windows computer, open the RAIDMon folder on the CD and then double click the
setup.exe file to start installation. The application can be launched from its icon in the system tray.
Note: Capacity dependent on model. 1 MB = 1,000,000 bytes/1 GB = 1,000,000,000
bytes/1 TB = 1,000,000,000,000 bytes. Some capacity used for pre-loaded software,
formatting and other functions and thus is not available for data storage. As a result,
and due to differing calculation methods, your operating systems may report as
fewer megabytes/gigabytes/terabytes.
