A Note About EasyManage

EasyManage is an all encompassing application that will, under specific conditions, allow you to manage both Maxtor OneTouch III and Shared Storage Drive products through one single interface.

This simply means that you can use EasyManage in conjunction with these products provided one of the following software packages is installed:

–Maxtor OneTouch III USB 2.0

–Maxtor OneTouch III FireWire 400/USB 2.0

–Maxtor OneTouch III FireWire 800/FireWire 400/USB 2.0

–Maxtor OneTouch III Turbo Edition

–Maxtor OneTouch III Mini Edition

Granted, you can use these software packages completely separate from EasyManage. However, it is suggested that you use the EasyManage application with all of these products.

Note: Please refer to Maxtor’s Knowledge Base for examples and more information.

9.Once detected, a window displays informing you that your Shared Storage drive has no security password set for the administrative function.

To set a password for the drive, click Manage. This will launch the Web User Interface (Web UI). Follow the onscreen prompts in you browser to configure your Shared Storage Drive.

Note: See “The Web UI” later in this guide for details on using the Maxtor Shared Storage Web UI. Run Set-up Wizard for more information on configuring these settings.

10.When finished, close your browser to return to the Storage Manager’s Settings screen, and then click the Home button.
