4.Verify that the Drive Mounts. Before storing data on the SoloPRO, the drive must be “mounted” to the computers operating system.

This means that the computers operating system has recognized at least one readable partition on the drive and established a communication link with it.

For Windows PC, once the SoloPRO is powered on the operating system should mount the drive in a few moments. A new drive icon/letter will appear in My Computer/Windows Explorer. You are now ready to use the Solo.

For Mac, once the SoloPRO is powered on the operating system should mount the drive in a few moments. A new drive icon will appear on the Desktop and in the Finder. The SoloPRO should be reformatted for the Mac OS (See page 21 - Formatting the SoloPRO for Mac OS)

5.The SoloPRO is ready to use. Save or drag and drop files to the drive as you would to any other drive attached to your computer.

6.Any commercially available backup software should work with the SoloPRO. See our website for suggestions.
