Du kan bruge en ny eller en tidligere anvendt harddisk. Hvis du bruger en tidligere
anvendt harddisk, bliver alle data på denne harddisk slettet under installationen.
Hvis du vil bevare dataene, kan du sikkerhedskopiere harddisken, før du installerer
Media Hub’en.
Afsnittet Installation forklarer, hvordan du installerer Media Hub’en og konfigurerer
din computer, så der er adgang til Media Hub’en. Hvis du har en computer med
Windows, skal du fortsætte til afsnittet Installation på Windows. Hvis du har en Maccomputer, skal du fortsætte til afsnittet Installation på Mac.
Afsnittet Opsætning af yderligere computere forklarer opsætningen af adgang til
Media Hub’en for flere computere. Afsnittet Værktøjer beskriver tre måder, hvorpå du
kan drage nytte af Media Hub’ens funktioner.
Installation på Windows
BEMÆRK: Den guidede konfiguration til Media Hub installerer flere
programmer, der forbedrer produktets funktionalitet. Firewallsoftware,
der er installeret på computeren, kan blokere denne kommunikation
mellem programmerne og Media Hub'en. Vi anbefaler kraftigt, at du
deaktiverer din firewallsoftware, før du installerer Media Hub.
1. Sørg for, at Media Hub’en er slukket.
Indsæt cd-rom’en med guidet
konfiguration i din computers
cd-rom-drev. Den guidede
konfiguration køres automatisk, og
videoen starter automatisk. Hvis det
ikke er tilfældet, skal du klikke på
Start og derefter vælge Run (Kør).
I det viste felt skal du indtaste
D:\startinstall.exe (hvis ”D” er
bogstavet for cd-rom-drevet).
2. Der afspilles en introduktionsvideo. Hvis du vil springe videoen over, skal du
klikke på knappen X i skærmens øverste højre hjørne.
