G SPEEDQ

Using RAID Modes

The Configurator Utility

To change the RAID level for your G-SPEED Q, you will need a software utility from G-Technology called Con- figurator. NOTE: YOU MUST CONNECT THE DRIVE VIA THE USB PORT TO USE CONFIGURATOR.

The utility is available on the enclosed CD or you can download it from the G-Technology website at www.g- technology/support

If you downloaded Configurator, you should launch it directly from the mounted Disk Image. If you copied Configurator from our CD, it is important that you copy it (by Option+dragging) to your Applications folder prior to running. Configurator will not work if you drag it to the Applications Folder and then launch.

Configure the RAID Mode

It is easy to configure the RAID mode with the following steps. NOTE: Changing the RAID level will erase all data on the drive. Be sure all the material you want to save is backed up to a separate disk.

1.Connect G-SPEED Q via its USB port and launch the Configurator utility. A window will appear asking you to disconnect all other external hard disks from your com- puter. This is important to ensure that Configurator does not affect other FireWire or USB devices on your system.
