1.Open the MediaFinder X preference pane and click on either ‘Bulk Load Discs’ or ‘Load One Disc’.

2.Load disc(s).

When either the Load One Disc or Bulk Load Discs button is clicked the internal "gate" in the Load/Unload slot will automatically open, allowing the first disc to be inserted. With the "data" side of the disc on the left, and the "label" side on the right, gently place one (1) disc into the slot. DO NOT PUSH OR FORCE THE DISC INTO THE SLOT. The disc will be automatically lowered into the carousel, and the gate will close.

If you selected Bulk Load Discs, once the first disc has been loaded, the carousel will rotate, and the gate will reopen, allowing the next disc to be inserted. The PowerFile will wait approximately 10 seconds for another disc. If no more discs are inserted within that time, the gate will close, and that disc loading session will be ended.

Identifying Discs

Identifying discs

The PowerFile will automatically identify newly loaded discs at the completion of a load operation.

Each disc will be mounted to a drive where the disc’s volume tag information is read and then downloaded into the PowerFile.

The MFX preference pane’s ‘Discs’ window will display the name and type of each disc as it is identified. Refreshing the PowerFile Desktop Icon window will also reveal newly identified media.

Unloading Discs from a PowerFile

There are three options for unloading discs from the PowerFile: using the front panel buttons, via the MFX Finder Interface or through the MFX preference pane.

Unload Option 1: From the Front Panel

1.Press the EJECT button.

2.Press the scroll buttons to scroll through list in the Display Window until the desired selection is displayed.

3.Press the EJECT button again. The carousel will rotate to place the selected disc at the load/unload slot, and the disc will be lifted up and out for removal. (If the disc is not removed from the slot within approximately 10 seconds, it will be lowered back down into the carousel.)

Unload Option 2: From the MFX Finder Interface

1.Open the PowerFile Desktop icon.

2.Select the disc(s) and control-click on the selection.
