8.5 Installation ONE fireRAID
Macintosh:
Start your computer without having the RAID connected! After the
system has been loaded, insert the ONE_ToolsCD in your CDROM
drive and install the FireWire drivers out of the FireWire folder on the
ONE_ToolsCD.
Restart your machine. After the computer has finished the restart,
switch on the fireRAID and connect it to a free FireWire port. Your
RAID system will now be installed and shown in the „System
Profiler“ as a new harddrive on the FireWire bus. Now your hard
drive/RAID 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 and RAID
systems.
