It takes just minutes to
unpack, setup, and begin
using your MediaVault HD.
To get started, just follow
these simple steps:
1. unpack and check
Open and inspect the
contents of your MVHD.
One large box holds the
MVHD fireproof container.
A second box will contain
documentation, two four-
foot twin-lead USB cables,
keys, backup software,
and your Seagate hard
drive(s).
2. install drives
Open the MVHD lid. Con-
nect your first hard drive
to the interior USB cable
marked “A”. Slide the hard
drive into the foam slot
closest to the rear of the
MVHD. If you are installing
a second hard drive: con-
nect it to the USB cable
marked “B”, then slide it
into the second foam slot.
For maximum protection,
close and lock the MVHD.
3. connect computer
Place your MVHD such
that the rear of the MVHD
is within four feet of avail-
able USB ports on your
computer.
If you have only one hard
drive: Connect one exter-
nal USB cable

between
your computer and the
MVHD rear port “A”.
