If the cooling fan malfunctions, “F” will be displayed in the lower right-hand corner of the screen. You
should replace the fan as soon as possible to avoid overheating.
Using the Password Feature
For additional data protection, the RTX200H-QR offers a password feature. This prevents unauthorized
users from tampering with the configuration. If you change your password, write it down and store it in a
safe place away from the unit. The default password is either “1234” or “0000”.

password and ask you to confirm it. Press

Usage with Macintosh Computers
Compatibility
The RTX200H-QR is compatible with Mac OS 10.2.6 or later. No drivers are needed.
Mounting and Ejecting Volumes
When you connect the unit to the Mac for the first time and turn on the power, you’ll
probably see a message saying that the disk is unreadable. This is because you
must format the volume before using it. The easiest way to do this is to use Mac OS
X’s Disk Utility. If you plan to use the unit on both Macs and PCs, select “MS DOS
File System” as the format type. If you only plan to use the unit on Macs, then select
“Mac OS Extended”. After the volume is formatted, an icon representing the drive
volume will appear (“mount”) on the desktop. You can now use the volume just like an internal hard drive.
Eject the volume before powering down the unit by dragging the volume’s icon to the trash bin or by
selecting the volume then pressing Command-E. Shutting down the unit without first ejecting the volume
can result in data loss.
Booting to the RTX200H-QR
Some Macs support booting from FireWire devices. To activate this feature, you must first install OS X on
the external volume. The easiest way to do this is to clone an existing system drive using a utility such as
Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper. Next, go to System Preferences
Startup Disk. A window will list
the available bootable volumes. Select the volume from which you wish to boot. Another method is to
hold down the Option key during startup. A screen should appear that allows you to select the volume
you wish to use. This is useful if you wish to boot from your RTX200H-QR only some of the time.
