The Cartridge Indicator is Steady AMBER 

The cartridge indicator is located on the front of the cartridge. If this indicator is amber, the cartridge is 
not working properly. The error is due to one of the following conditions:  

 

The cartridge is not compatible with the RDX QuikStor unit. 

 

The cartridge has been severely damaged. 

 

The cartridge has not been fully inserted. 

Run the removable disk utility to obtain more information about the failure. See 

Using the Removable 

Disk Utility

 page 17. 

The Cartridge does not Eject 

Follow these steps to remove a stuck cartridge:  

Insert a straightened paper clip into the Emergency Eject Hole (see 

Figure 3. Front Panel Feature 

in 

Loading and Unloading Cartridges 

page 14). 

1  When the cartridge has been ejected by the unit, grasp the exposed sides of the cartridge and pull 

the cartridge straight out. 

The Unit does not Appear in the Device Manager 
(Windows™) 

If the unit does not appear in the Windows Device Manager and the power indicator is green, follow 
these steps to rescan the hardware: 
1  Bring up the Device Manager:  

Right-click on 

My Computer 

 

Select 

Manage

 

Select 

Device Manager 

 

1  Right-click on the top folder (this should be your computer’s name). 

Select 

Scan for Hardware Changes

 

You should see your RDX QuikStor device listed under 

Disk drives

. If the device does not appear, 

restart the computer.  

Unit Performance Seems Slow 

RDX Internal Drive 

Some Intel chipset-based SATA ports do not by default operate in DMA mode for the RDX Internal 
device. This results in slower performance and weaker data protection. Reinstall the unit software for 
Windows to set the SATA ports to the correct mode. Refer to 

Installing Unit Software for Windows™

 

page 13.  

RDX External Drive 

The RDX External device may appear slow based on the type of USB port the device is attached to.  
Make sure your unit is connected to a USB 2.0 port instead of a USB 1.1 port. For best performance 
connect directly to a USB 2.0 root hub on the PC and not an external hub.  If using an external hub, 
make sure it is USB 2.0 compliant.
