Macintosh System Installation

Note: Mac OS X Version 10.0 is the minimum OS requirement for using the TEAC USB hard drive with a Macintosh computer. (Earlier versions of the Mac OS are not supported.)

1.Connect the USB hard drive to your computer, then turn on the power to the USB hard drive.

(Refer to “Connecting the USB Hard Drive to an IBM PC-Compatible or Macintosh System” on page 5).

The Macintosh automatically detects the USB hard drive and displays the icon for the USB hard drive on your Macintosh desktop (Figure 15).

It may take a couple of minutes to mount the USB hard drive on your desktop the first time you connect it to the system. Do not disconnect the USB hard drive, or cut the power to the USB hard drive, during this process.
