Newer Technology miniStack v3 Chapter 3 -Troubleshooting & Tips
3 TROUBLESHOOTING & TIPS
3.1 Troubleshooting
Some of the most simple problems can be traced to power, or connectivity issues.
Begin your troubleshooting by verifying that power is plugged into the external stor-
age solution, and if connected to a power strip. Make sure that the power is turned on
at the switch on the strip.
Then, simply verify that your cables (both ends!) are properly plugged into the com-
puter and storage solution. If they are, and the storage solution is still not working
properly, try connecting to another interface such as the USB connection and see if the
device works properly.
3.2 Tips
To properly dismount any connected hard drives from your computer, you need to
follow a few simple steps.
• For Macintosh systems:
For the safe removal of your drive and to assure that no data is lost, always eject or
unmount the drive from your operating system before powering off.
There are two methods to umount disks with Macintosh systems. Either drag the icon
for the hard disk you wish to dismount to the trash can, or click the eject icon next to
the hard disk name in under the “DEVICES” tab in the sidebar in any finder window.
• For Windows systems:
1. Go to the System Tray (located in the lower right corner of your screen). Click on the
Eject icon (a small green arrow over a hardware image).
2. A message will appear, detailing the devices that the Eject icon controls. i.e. “Safely
remove...” Click on this prompt.
3. You will then be given the following message. “Safe to Remove Hardware”. It is now
safe to unhook the Newer Technology MiniStack v3.
General information:
• Do not expose the product to water or humid conditions.
• Do not cover the enclosure’s ventilation holes.
• In order for the computer to access volumes larger than 2TB, both the hardware
and Operating System need to support large volumes (e.g.: Windows Vista
32bit/64bit or Mac OS X 10.4 and above).
