  • Page 2 Do not attempt to unpack and operate your GPT50 until the carrier or dealer confirms the damage. If the container is in good condition, proceed with unpacking the GPT50. Verify that all of the items described in the next section are present and in good condition. If any of the items you expect to find in your container is missing or damaged, contact the dealer before proceeding any further.
  • Page 3 Depending on which port(s) your computer has, you can connect the GPT50 in a number of ways. The fastest interface on the GPT50 is eSATA and there is one eSATA port on the rear panel. The GPT50 can sustain over 130MB/sec (reads) and over 140MB/s (writes) when connected to a 4-lane PCIe eSATA card such as the Sonnet E4P.
  • Page 4 Older versions of Windows, such as 2000 and XP 32-bit, use Master Boot Record (MBR) which doesn’t support volumes larger than 2TB. For GPT50 models that are 3TB or higher, you must format the drive using a GUID Partition Table in Windows. GUID format is only supported by Windows XP 64-bit Edition, Windows 2003 Server, Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Mac OS X.

    Installing the Hardware 1. Position the GPT50 by placing the unit on a flat, level surface, or install the unit into a rack with the GPT Rack Kit. Caution: Speakers are magnetic devices; they can harm your data if they’re too close to your hard drives or tapes.

  • Page 7 3. Connect the FireWire, USB or eSATA cable. Plug one end of the cable into your computer’s port, and the other into the back of the GPT50. The two FireWire 800 ports are functionally identical, so it doesn’t matter which one you use.

Configuration The GPT50 can be rack mounted in a standard 19-inch rack with Glyph’s optional rack kits. There is a single kit for mounting one drive, and a dual kit for mounting two GPT50 drives.

  • Page 9: Frequently Asked Questions

    About eSATA • eSATA is an external interface technology that grew from the internal SATA I interface. • The GPT50’s eSATA port supports speeds up to 1.5 Gb/sec (150 MB/sec), much faster than FireWire 400 or FireWire 800. • Shielded eSATA cables up to 2 meters in length are available.
  • Page 10 The default format on the GPT50 is for the Macintosh, and Windows doesn’t recognize it. Once you have connected the GPT50 to your Windows PC, you have to re-initialize it for use with Windows. For most ver- sions of Windows, that’s going to be NTFS format; for Win98/SE, that will be FAT32 format. Instructions for re-initializing your drive are included in this manual.
