Instruction Manual

2. A dialog window will automatically appear, asking you to initialize the drive.

Depending on the version of Windows, it will give you the option of either creating

an “MBR” or “GPT” disk.

Note: GPT (GUID partition) is required for drives larger that 2TB but is not compatible

with some older operating systems, while MBR is supported by newer and older

operating systems.

3. Once initialized, locate the Disk that says it is “Unallocated” (check the listed hard

drive capacity to conrm it’s the correct hard drive) and then right-click in the

section that says “Unallocated” and select “New Partition”.

4. Follow the on screen prompts to initialize the drive in the format of your choice.

LED Indicators

The docking station oers a power LED indicator (blue) and an activity LED indicator

(red) for each drive. When the drive is powered on, the Blue LED Power indicator

will illuminate. While the hard drive is being accessed, the Red LED will ash. Do not

remove your drive from the docking station while the Red LED is ashing, as it could

damage to your drive, resulting in data loss.

Disconnecting the Hard Drive

Windows

1. Select the “Safely remove Hardware and Eject Media” icon, located in the task bar.

2. Select the storage device from the list that appears.

do so, could result in losing or corrupting data stored on the drive. Once the Safe

to Remove Hardware message appears, please remove the drive from the docking

station. (See Drive Removal.)
