HDD Installation
(1) Open the back cover by pushing down slightly according
to the arrow direction.

direction. MegaMount™ supports screw-less HDD
installation.
(4) Connect MegaMount™ and your Desktop or Laptop with
the official USB3.0 cable in the package. It’s also
compatible with USB2.0, but in that case, the data transfer
speed is dramatically slowed down and it may not supply
enough power. The insufficient power supply can cause
malfunction to MegaMount™.
Usage of Virtual ODD
(5) Install HDD in MegaMount™ and connect to PC with
USB3.0 cable.
(6) Check the file system of HDD (Only NTFS available)
(7) Create each folder (_iso1, _iso2, _iso3) on the root of
internal HDD.
(8) Copy and move your favorite ISO file in each folder.
(9) Others are same with the usage of normal external HDD.
Folder names which include ‘iso’ file should be ‘_iso1,
_iso2, _iso3’. Don’t forget to locate the under-bar “_”
in from of each folder name. (Capital or small)
Ex) ‘_iSO1’ = ‘_ISO1’ = ‘_iso1’
In case there’s no iso file in ISO folder, blue LED next
to the folder name blinks and move to next ISO folder
automatically.
In case ISO folder includes 2 more iso files on it, it
recognizes only first ISO file automatically according
to the sorting order (Number > Alphabet > Symbol)
Caution:
For the perfect virtual CD feature, MegaMount™
supports only NTFS file system. Default file system of
most HDDs is NTFS. If your HDD has other file system,
please change it into NTFS file system via the process of
HDD Initialization.
Precautions before use
Please read the following instructions carefully before using.
