Connecting to a computer

Network connecting

When data sharing has been set using the SHARE function, the HDD data which has been set to be shared over the network can be accessed. For security reasons, “Read Only” is displayed if access is attempted by external users.

When you connect this unit to another computer via a network, the computer must be set up to enable the joint drives of the Windows computer to be accessed. You have to refer to the joint part of the network of the computer for details of the setting.

Inserting the HDD directly in the 5 inch bay unit

If identical 5-inch bay units have been installed, the HDDs unmounted from the unit can be connected directly.

It is also possible to connect discrete HDDs by using the interfaces.

The contents may be deleted in the OS such as Windows, Macintosh, Linux for the clips are in FAT32 format. Please understand it when you access to HDD.

Backing up the data

We recommend that you make a backup on a separate storage media in order to protect the important data saved in the HDD.

It is necessary to check the volume of the storage media which used to back up the data.
