Congratulations on your new DriveStation Duo! With two separate hard drives
inside, the DriveStation Duo gives you many options for large, economical
capacity and easy-to-use redundancy.
To begin, insert the DriveNavigator CD in your PC. The setup program will run.
Follow the steps to connect your DriveStation Duo.
DriveStation Setup
After completing the setup wizard, your DriveStation Duo is installed and ready to
use!
By default, your Duo is congured in independent disk mode. This gives you two
equally sized drives to use on your computer. For example, a DriveStation Duo
500GB appears by default as two 250 GB hard drives to your computer. If you
would prefer a single large drive, or a mirrored RAID pair, you may use the RAID
Utility to change your DriveStation Duo’s conguration. Turn to the next page for
instructions on using the RAID Utility.
Out of the box, the DriveStation is formatted with FAT32, allowing it to be used
with most common operating systems. If you’re going to use it with programs
that generate lesizes larger than 4GB, such as backup software, reformat the
DriveStation as an NTFS drive.
If the setup program doesn’t run automatically, click Start,
then Run, and then type “d:\setup.exe” in the “Open”
window. Click OK.
Click DriveStation Setup Wizard to begin.
