Restart your machine. After the computer has finished the restart,
switch on the FireWire drive and connect it to a free FireWire port.
Your hard drive is now installed and will be shown in the „System
Profiler“ on the FireWire bus. Now your hard drive needs to be
initialized. The system will prompt for that right after connecting the
drive for the first time. In some cases the drive will mount directly
without forcing an initialization due to the preinitialization in our
production progress. Even if this is the case you should use your
configuration utility to initialize the drive with! In this case the hard
disk is using your system driver and a proper function is possible! By
default you can use the drive only „in one piece“ by using the
system’s driver „Delete Volume“ in the „Special“ menu. For creating
several partitions, you have to use additional software! ONE
Technologies recommends using „Hard disk Toolkit“ from FWB
Software. This product is available as a bundled OEM version in
combination with ONE drives. Please consult your local ONE dealer.
If you are using Mac OS X (10.1 and above), additional software for
partitioning is not needed. „Disk Utility“ which is included in OSX
fully supports ONE FireWire hard disks.
USB 2.0:
At this time high-speed USB 2.0 is NOT supported by the Macintosh
OS. All HighFly USB 2.0 devices are downwards compatible. That
means that you can use them also under classic OS systems (8.6 or
higher) and OS X, but only as USB 1.1 devices with USB 1.1 speed!
Only if your computer is already delivered with an onboard USB 2.0
controller or upgraded by an additional USB 2.0 PCI adapter card
you can use the AluDISC USB 2.0 with full speed under OS X 10.1
or higher.
Before installing your new drive make sure, that the USB 2.0 card is
installed correctly and working properly!
