V. Connecting the Micca Slim
A. Power
Only use the supplied AC power adapter to provide 5.0VDC power to the Micca
Slim. Using a different power adapter may damage the player. Do not cut off
power to the device while the unit is turned on as this may cause serious damage
to the hard drive and result in data loss. Make sure that the player is in standby
mode before disconnecting power. The player consumes a small amount of
power in standby mode and should be disconnected from power to conserve
energy if not planned to use for a while.
B. USB to Computer
The supplied USB cable can be used to connect the Micca Slim to a computer
and function as an external hard disk drive. No additional software or drivers are
needed for the Micca Slim to be recognized by the computer. Once connected,
files can be copied to and from the Micca Slim as desired using the standard file
management functions of the computer’s operating system.
The Micca Slim will draw power through the USB cable when
connected to the computer and does not need 5.0VDC power.
If the hard disk drive is new, it will need to be partitioned and formatted before it
can be recognized and used by the computer. For directions on how to partition
and format a new hard disk drive within Windows XP/2000, please refer to the
following Microsoft tutorial: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/309000
The process is very similar for Windows Vista/7. The Micca Slim is able to
recognize up to 4 FAT32/NTFS partitions on the hard drive. NTFS partitions are
strongly recommended for maximum efficiency, performance, and compatibility
with large media files.
To prevent data loss and potential hard disk drive damage, do not disconnect the
Micca Slim from the computer until all file copy/move/delete activities have
completed and the blue status light is solid and not blinking.
