Depending on your computer's operating system and the interface type
you are using, the following special notes may apply:
Note 1: USB under Windows. If you are using a USB 1.1 port on your Windows
computer, the following cautionary note may appear on your display: Hi-Speed
USB Device plugged into non-Hi-Speed USB hub. This does not indicate a
problem because the drive is compatible with both USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 ports.
Simply close the message and proceed. However, in this case the drive will
operate only at USB 1.1 speeds.
Note 2: USB under Mac OS 9.2.x. Mac OS versions 9.2.x do not support
USB 2.0 Hi-Speed mode. For these Mac OS versions the drive will operate only
at USB 1.1 speeds.
Note 3: USB or eSATA under Mac OS X 10.2. Mac OS X version 10.2 will not
mount any single FAT32-formatted (MS-DOS) partition greater than 128GB.
To work around this OS limitation, you may partition the drive into smaller
FAT32 partitions, or you may reformat the drive to HFS+ format.
Note 4: eSATA. Though the eSATA interface standard provides for
"hot-plugging" of the drive, some computers may not follow the standard
precisely. If you fi nd that your drive does not mount after attaching to a
computer that is powered on, then shut down the computer, attach and
power on the drive, and then boot up your computer.
Confi guring the RAID Mode
This Verbatim 2-Disk RAID External Hard Drive can be set to one of
three operating modes. The factory default setting is Concatenation
(also called Spanning). The switch setting for Concatenation mode is
labelled "BIG". If Concatenation is your desired mode, then you can
jump to the next section of the manual since no further confi guration
is required. Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. All other
countries call +353 61 226586.
WARNING: Changing RAID mode will delete all data on the drive. Do not
change the setting of the RAID Mode Switch unless you have fi rst saved all
of the data from the drive to another storage location.
