2.Open the MFX preference pane.

3.Select the disc(s) to be mounted for maintenance.

4.Click the “Disc Maintenance…” button.

5.The disc will be mounted by the changer and then will appear on the desktop.

6.The disc may now be renamed in the Finder or formatted, partitioned, or checked using Apple’s Disk Utility.

7.When finished with the disc, drag it to the trash. Changer icons may not be re-mounted until all discs mounted for maintenance have been unmounted.

The disc will be re-identified when the changer icon is next mounted. If the disc had a custom name within the changer icon, that name will be lost when the disc is mounted for disc maintenance.

Network Access

A network user’s ability to access the PowerFile host computer is platform-dependent. It is necessary for the proper file sharing protocols and user accounts to be in place prior to attempting network access of the PowerFile.

Important Note: Due mounted volume privileges in OS X, the network client must login using the PowerFile host computer’s admin account in order to see the PowerFile.
