Important Note
Any cable (FireWire or USB) inserted before the drive is powered on has priority over the other
cables and will be the primary connection method, e.g. if the drive is connected via FireWire
800 before powering on the drive, data will be transferred via FireWire 800.
The drive should only be connected to a computer via
one
interface at a time. Connection of
the drive to a computer via two or more interfaces is not recommended and may potentially
damage your Amphibious drive and data.
PARTITIONING AND FORMATTING THE AMPHIBIOUS DRIVE ON A MAC OS
All Rocstor drives are factory formatted with FAT32, unless otherwise stated on the retail box.
WARNING:
Formatting and Partitioning the Amphibious Drive will destroy all of its data. To
protect your data, back it up before formatting or partitioning this device.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
1.
All programs should be closed before beginning.
2.
Connect the Rocstor hard disk drive to your computer using the appropriate cables.
3.
Turn ON the Rocstor hard disk drive. Some Rocstor HDs are bus-powered and turn ON
automatically. Look for a Blue or Green light.
4.
“Click” means left click. “Right Click” will be so labeled.
5.
Some computers are set so a single “click” will perform the task, such as opening a
window. Depending on your mouse setting, you may have to double click to get to the
next window. If a single click does not open the next window, please double click.
