G SPEED™Q	Using Your Drive

A great feature of G-SPEED Q is its ability to connect and disconnect while your com- puter is running. To prevent failures and/or data loss, it is important to follow the steps below when disconnecting or ‘unmounting’ the drive from your computer.

1.Before powering down and disconnecting the drive, unmount the system by simply dragging the G-SPEED Q icon to the trash located in the dock. Keyboard shortcut: Select the drive icon and hit Command+E.

2.It is safe to remove the drive from your system and power it down when the drive icon is no longer present on your desktop.

Warning LED Alarms

G-SPEED Q is equipped with visual alarms to alert you to any possible malfunction. There is a red LED on the bottom right of the unit and amber LEDs on each drive module. These LEDs will flash for about 45 seconds when the unit is first powered on.

•If the red warning light is lit, there is a failure of one of the internal components. Stop using G-SPEED Q and contact our Technical Support.

•If the amber warning light is lit, there is a drive failure for that particular module. You will need to replace a drive module. Read how in Replace a Failed Drive Module.

NOTE: Although there is a switch for the Audible Alarm on the rear of the unit,

it is not functional. G-SPEED Q only supports visual alarms.
