SVxx54DX4I will wait until the host is not using the disk, and add or remove the files.

When the host computer next looks at the drive, it will notice the changes. You can read files from the virtual disk at any time, as long as the host is not actively writing to the disk. All of this happens in the background, and you may treat the virtual disk as a shared drive without any restrictions.

•Access to the files is performed through the web interface. Contents of the root directory are shown on the home page.You can download files as you would any file on the web (right-click and Save target as).

•To upload a file, click Browse, select a file, and then click Upload.

•Files and directories may be deleted using the Delete button situated to their right.

When emulating a floppy disk or RAM Disk, the data is stored in RAM on the SVxx54DX4I itself. In order to emulate a CD-ROM disk drive, a web server is required to provide the CD-ROM image data. The Web server must be accessible to the unit, which communicates with it constantly as data is needed.

Floppy mode: Choose the Format as floppy button to switch to floppy mode. Under Windows, the drive will be identified as a “high density floppy” and will typically be assigned a drive letter of B:

The capacity is limited to 1.44 megabytes in this mode. The purpose of supporting floppy mode is to permit the use of floppy-disk images generated by other systems (e.g. the flash BIOS upgrade process is performed with a special floppy and is bootable, emergency repair disks are often floppy-based etc.). You can transfer bits from that floppy to the SVxx54DX4I (use the upload disk image form) and boot from the special floppy.

RAM Disk mode: Choose the Format as RAM Disk button to switch to RAM Disk mode. This mode is intended to facilitate simple data transfer between the remote user and the host computer. It will be recognized by Windows as an 8MB removable disk and assigned a drive letter.You can easily drag and drop files up to 8MB in size to this device.

Disk Formats: When you choose the Format as... button, the disk image stored in RAM is formatted as an empty MS-DOS disk, with a single file
