DEVICE SETUP
2.1 QUICK START
If you purchased the NewerTech miniStack as an empty enclosure, proceed to Section
2.2 below. If the miniStack you purchased includes a hard drive, the NewerTech NuDrive
formatting utility has been installed. Follow the steps below to use the NuDrive utility to
format your drives for Mac (OS X 10.4 and later) or Windows (XP and later). If you do not wish
to use NuDrive to format your miniStack, you can use the formatting utility of your choice
instead. See Section 3.1 of this manual for more formatting options.
1. Connect the drive to your computer using one of the included data cables or an eSATA
cable that you supply, then turn on the drive. If you prefer to use a different formatting
utility, do so at this time (skipping the rest of these instructions).
2. Your drive will show up as a “Newer Setup.” Open the drive to view its contents.
3. Launch the “NuDrive” application.
4. Follow the simple on-screen instructions to complete the formatting process.
5. Once the formatting is finished, the drive is ready to use.
2.2 ASSEMBLY
NOTICE: The following assembly instructions are written for users who purchased the
miniStack as an empty enclosure. The instructions show how to open the enclosure in order
to install a drive. If you purchased the miniStack with a drive already installed, opening the
miniStack before the expiration of the original warranty WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
If you wish to remove or replace a drive after the expiration of the original warranty, you may
do so at that time. For warranty information, please visit

1. Remove the NewerTech miniStack from the box. Notice there is a clear protective plastic
sheet attached to the top of the enclosure. Leave this sheet intact for now.
