How to Stack DrivePods
1. Install your first DrivePod, on whichever
OS you have selected, according to the
instructions in this guide.
2. Place another DrivePod onto the first,
making sure the orientation is the same
and the drives are aligned (See Figure 9).
When placed correctly, the connector at
the top of the first drive will mate with the
connector at the bottom of the second
drive, and all four feet of the second drive
should sit firmly on the first drive.
As the connectors mate, you may hear a brief “scratching” sound as the
metal terminals in the connectors make contact. This is normal.
3. Press down gently on the top of the second drive to make sure it is firmly
seated on the drive below.
If the first drive is powered “on”, the second drive will power “on” automatically
and Power Indicator Light will come on after a few seconds. There is no need
to press the Power Button of the 2nd drive.
If the first drive is NOT powered “on”, press the Power Button of the first
drive. After a few seconds, the Power Indicator Light of the 2nd drive should
come on automatically.
icon for the drive should appear on
your Mac’s Desktop with the name
“Untitled”.
It is recommended that you assign
the drive a unique name. To do this,
simply click on the icon but keep the
mouse button pressed for a second
or two and then release. The name
field under the icon should become
highlighted and you can type in a
new name.
If you DO receive the alert mes-
sage shown in Figure 5, you must
format the drive; proceed to step 2.
2. In the Name field, type in a name
for your DrivePod.
3. In the Format pop-up menu, select Mac OS Extended.
4. Click Initialize. You should then get the alert message shown in Figure 6.
5. Click Continue. Once your Mac finishes initializing the DrivePod, you should
see the drive mounted on your Desktop with whatever name you assigned.
Your DrivePod is now ready to use.
