Doing so may damage the drive or disfigure its casing. Avoid placing your drive near a source of heat or exposing it to sunlight (even through a window.) • Do not block the fan exhaust vent. • Never expose your device to rain, or use it near water, or in damp or wet conditions. Doing so increases the risk of electrical shock, short-circuiting, fire or personal injury. • Always unplug the hard drive from the electrical outlet if there is a risk of lightning or if it will be unused for an extended period of time. • Do not place the drive near sources of magnetic interference, such as computer displays, televisions or speakers. Magnetic interference can affect the operation and stability of your drive. • Do not place heavy objects on top of the drive or use excessive force on it. • Never use benzene, paint thinners, detergent or other chemical products to clean the outside of PlatinumXL drive. Instead, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the device. 2 Hardware Installation IMPORTANT: if your drive is delivered under hot or cold conditions, please allow the drive to reach room temperature before operating to prevent damage. Note for MacOS 9.x users: Please install Hard Disk Speedtools prior to connecting your MicroNet Disk Drive. • Plug the included power cable into the power connector on your drive and plug the other end into a grounded electrical outlet. • Press the power switch on the drive to turn on your MicroNet storage device, then power-on your computer. • Connect the 9 pin connection of one end of the included FireWire cables to one of the FireWire ports on the rear of your drive. • Connect the other end to one of your computer’s FireWire 400 or 800 ports, or to a FireWire port on a device already connected to your computer.

It features simplified cabling, hot swapping, and transfer speeds of up to 400 megabits per second. FireWire is one of the fastest peripheral standards ever developed, which makes it great for use with multimedia peripherals such as video camcorders and other high-speed devices like the latest hard disk drives, cd-recorders, scanners, and printers. More information, along with the latest MacOS drivers for FireWire can always be found at http://www.apple.com/firewire/ 3 N Installation- Software MacOS Systems MacOS 9.x 1.Insert the included Hard Disk Speedtools Installation CD into your computer’s CD drive.

Consult the HDST documentation for more information. 4 Installation-Software TM Windows Systems Installation on a Windows system requires either Windows 98-Second Edition, Windows Millenium, Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows 2003. FireWire is not supported on Windows 95, earlier versions of Windows 98, or Windows NT 4.0 and earlier. Windows 98/ME (for Windows ME installation, please skip to step 4) 1. Before connecting your MicroNet Firewire Storage Device, please install the Microsoft 1394 (Microsoft Support Document Q242975). This update can be downloaded from Microsoft or from the MicroNet Support web page. 2. Connect and power on your MicroNet Firewire Storage Device, and reboot your computer. 3. Plug and Play will detect your MicroNet Drive and will install the necessary software. Should any Version Conflict dialog boxes pop up, click YES to keep the existing files. Do not click on the cancel button, as this will prohibit the drivers from loading properly. If Windows cannot find the driver, please download the appropriate driver from the MicroNet support web site, decompress it to a temporary directory, and direct Windows to that directory in the driver installation dialog. These dialog boxes will only display the first time you install your drive. 4. Right click on “My Computer” on your desktop, and select Properties. Click on the Device Manager tab (top illustration,) expand the “Disk Drives” icon, locate and select the new device, and click the “Properties” button. 5. Under the “Settings” Tab, check the “removable” checkbox (See bottom illustration) 6. Press the “OK” button and reboot. Your MicroNet Firewire Storage Device is ready to use! Windows 2000/XP Windows ME, 2000, and Windows XP will autodetect your MicroNet Storage Devices and mount them automatically! 5 Note: Please be sure to have your Windows 98/ME installation CD available as it may be required during installation. Installation-Software TM Windows Systems Disk Format Considerations The two prevalent file system formats for PCs are FAT32 and NTFS. Performance is very similar between the two systems. NTFS is a newer file system that is compatible only with Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows XP. It has fewer limitations than FAT32 and will enable a partition to be created that is larger than 32GB. FAT32 is a file system that is compatible with Windows 98 SE, Windows Me, Windows 2000 and Windows XP; In Windows 2000 and Windows XP, you will not be able to create a partition greater than 32GB. Use FAT32 if: • You will be dual booting/accessing data with an Operating System other than Windows NT/Windows 2000/XP. • You may need the ability to dual boot down the line. Once you have converted a volume from NTFS to FAT32, there is no going back. You can convert from FAT32 to NTFS, but not the other way around. • You want to connect to a Mac and have access to the data. Please note that MacOS cannot support FAT32 partitions greater than 128GB. 6 Use NTFS if: • You want to encrypt files, assign permissions to files, or want to audit files for access. • You will be formatting partitions larger than 32GB. • You need to store individual files that are larger than 4GB, or you use a backup program that writes large files. • You need a filing system that can be mirrored or structured like a RAID 5 configuration. Daily Use Tips • Read this User’s Guide carefully. Follow the correct procedure when setting up the device. • Additional application software may have been included with your drive. Please review the documentation included with this software for information on the operation and support of this software. The documentation can usually be found in an electronic format on the installation CD. • Always operate your drive on a steady and level surface. Do not move the unit while it is turned on. • Plug your drive into a grounded electrical outlet. The use of “ground-defeating” adapters will cause damage not covered by your warranty. • You can connect or disconnect your MicroNet Storage Device to your computer while the power is turned on; however, make sure that no other devices on the connection are active when “hot-plugging” or disconnecting your device. • When disconnecting a FireWire or USB drive, always make sure it has been properly shut down. This can be accomplished as follows: Macintosh: drag the drive icon to the trash (or select the “Put-Away” command from the File menu) to remove it from the desktop. Windows: double click the “unplug or eject hardware” icon ( ) located at the edge of your start bar. Select the device and press the “stop” button before disconnecting the drive. • MicroNet hard disk drives are compatible with the leading hard disk repair and defragmentation software. We recommend using this software to maintain peak performance and data-integrity of your drive. Contact your local software retailer for more information about the software best suited for your computer. • The IEEE-1394 standard for FireWire sets a limit of 63 FireWire devices per computer. When connecting directly to your computer, there should be no more than 16 cable lengths between the computer's FireWire port and the last FireWire device. Troubleshooting To avoid corruption or loss of data, never disconnect your drive while transferring data Computer will not recognize the drive Make sure the software for your drive is installed, following the instructions in this manual. Disconnect the drive and power the unit off. Wait 15 seconds, then power your drive back on. Wait 5 more seconds, then reconnect the drive to your computer system. Make sure Hard Disk is formatted and mounted as described in the installation section. Files are missing or corrupted (Hard Drives & Removables) Run your computer’s disk repair utility The computer will not boot from my PlatinumXL Booting from Firewire is currently supported on all Firewire enabled Macintosh computer except Towers with PCI graphics, as well as some PCs with supported BIOS. Please check your computer manufacturer's website at for the latest updates. The computer hangs while booting with FireWire or USB device attached (Macintosh OS 9.x) Following the Hard Disk Speedtools installation, Create a new extension set based on the Base extensions set. Enable the HDST extensions and reboot. If the problem persists, please contact MicroNet Technical Support.
