    USB 2.0 Hi-speed and eSATA connections. Depending on which port(s) your computer has, you can con- nect the GT 050Q in a number of ways. The fastest interface on the GT 050Q is eSATA and there is one eSATA port on the rear panel. The GT 050Q can sustain 125MB/sec (read speed) when connected to an eSATA card such as a Glyph EC2 card.

    Installing the Hardware 1. Position the GT 050Q by placing the unit on a flat, level surface, or install the unit into a rack with one of Glyph’s rack kits. Caution: Speakers are magnetic devices; they can harm your data if they’re too close to your hard drives or tapes.

  • Page 6 3. Connect the FireWire 800 or FireWire 400 cable. Plug one end of the cable into your computer’s FireWire port, and the other into the back of the GT 050Q. The two FireWire 800 ports are functionally identical, so it doesn’t matter which one you use.
  • Page 7: More Information

    Configuration The GT 050Q can be rack mounted in a standard 19-inch rack with Glyph’s optional rack kits. There is a single kit (part# GT-RACKEAR) for mounting one drive, and a dual kit (part# GT-RACKEAR2) for mounting two drives.
  • Page 8: Frequently Asked Questions

    About eSATA • eSATA is an external interface technology that grew from the internal SATA I interface. • The GT 050Q’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 9 The default format on the GT 050Q is for the Macintosh, and Windows doesn’t recognize it. Once you have connected the GT 050Q 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.
