OWC Neptune Owner's Manual

To disconnect or unhook your OWC Neptune hard drive, follow
these important steps to properly dismount your drive.
Windows Systems (all versions): If you wish to disconnect your
OWC Neptune drive without shutting down your computer, you need to
stop the device with the "Unplug or Eject Hardware" icon, located on
the right side of the system tray. Your drive is now safe to power off
and unhook.
Macintosh Systems (all versions): If you wish to disconnect your
OWC Neptune drive without shutting down your computer, simply drag
the OWC Neptune drive icon to the trash can on the desktop (or, in the
dock using Mac OS X). Your drive is now safe to power off and unhook.

EMC Retrospect Express

To install and use the included EMC Retrospect Express backup
software, please insert the CD and follow the included installation and
operation instructions on the CD.
Share your Mac formatted drive with your PC using MacDrive
(optional purchase)
After installing MacDrive, your HFS+ Macintosh volume will mount as if
the drive were formatted in a native Windows format. MacDrive allows
you to use your OWC Neptune hard drive on either platform without
having to reformat or re-initialize the volume. We highly recommend
this software for anyone that is sharing data in a cross platform
environment.
Reformatting your OWC Neptune Hard Drive
To reformat or re-initialize your OWC Mercury hard drive, visit our tech
center for directions using the OS you wish to format the drive with.

Notes for use with older Macintosh systems

If you are using an older Macintosh system, or using a PCI FireWire
card to interface with the OWC Neptune FireWire drive, we recommend
using the included Intech Hard Disk SpeedTools to tune the drive for
optimum performance. Transfer errors or corruption can be avoided
by using this software. This is especially recommended if you are NOT
using Mac OS X.
