Technical Questions 

 

 

For RMA and other questions, please contact your vendor or 

check out their online support area! 

Please read your 

warranty carefully, 

as this may vary 

between different 

vendors! 

 

If you have lost your device ID number, please write down the 

serial number and contact your vendor. 

 

For NDAS mode, the drivers need to be loaded on each 

computer that wants access to the NDAS device. However, if 

you are using Windows Sharing, only one computer needs the 

software installed. The other computers will not need it. 

 

 

 

To disconnect the NDAS disk, we always recommend using the 

option in your Device Management (Device Utility for Mac) if 

connected via Ethernet. You can use the ‘Unplug or Eject 

Hardware” icon in your taskbar (Eject for Mac) to stop the disk 

before disconnecting it from the Device Management. Close all 

windows that may be accessing the NDAS device.
