For new hard drives, you will need to initialize and
partition your hard drive before it will appear in
Windows Explorer or on your Mac desktop. Please
refer to your hard drive manufacturer’s documentation
or read the “Creating a New Partition” section of this
manual.

NOTE :

Connecting the NexStar MX Dual to your computer:

(1) Connect the Type B USB connector to the NexStar MX
Dual and the Type A USB connector to an available
USB 1.1/2.0 port on your system.

(2) Connect the power cable to the NexStar MX Dual
and plug the cable into an available outlet.

(3) Turn on the NexStar MX Dual via the power switch.

(4) Your operating system should detect the NexStar MX
Dual and automatically install the necessary drivers
( if you have Windows 98SE/MacOS 8.6, you will
need to install drivers). Once your operating system
finishes setting up the NexStar MX Dual, it will
detect your hard drive. On Mac OS systems, the
new volume should appear on the desktop. On a
Windows PC, the new volume will appear under
My Computer.

(5) Your NexStar MX Dual External Hard Drive is now
ready for use.
