Connect the power cable to the back of the GT 050Q. Plug the
three-prong plug into an appropriate power receptacle, preferably
with surge and spike protection.

Plug one end of the FireWire cable into your computer's FireWire
port, and the other into one of the FireWire ports on the GT
050Q (it doesn't matter which one).
4. Power up the GT 050Q.
5. Power up your computer.
If you are using a Macintosh computer the drive should mount
automatically on your desktop.
Preparing Your Drive for Use: Mac OS 9 Users
Since your hard disk drive comes pre-formatted for Macintosh you
don't need to format it on installation. If you should need to
re-initialize the disk, you can use the Erase Disk command in the Mac
operating system. This command will erase all the data on a volume
and create a new file system. Erase disk will not allow you to
re-partition a FireWire drive or create a different volume structure
than what was previously there.
If you need more functionality than what is supplied by Mac OS 9, get
a formatting and partitioning utility. Glyph recommends FWB's Hard
Disk Toolkit or Charismac's Anubis utility. These will allow you to
re-partition a disk and create multiple volumes, as well as format those
volumes. Directions for using these utilities will be included with
them.
Mac OS X users should use Disk Utility (supplied with the Mac OS X
operating system) to format and partition drives.
