Software Installation for Mac
SATA Connection for MacOS X 10.2 and above
At the time when this manual is written, none of Mac computers has built-in
external SATA port accessible to connect G-S350SUAB2 enclosure. In order
to take advantage of high performance via SATA connection, current
solution is to add a third-party Mac compatible SATA II or SATA I to PCI or
ExpressCard host controller adapter with external SATA port (with “L”
shaped key type) or eSATA port. When external SATA port is available,
please follow steps below to use G-S350SUAB2 enclosure:
1. When computer is powered off, attach G-S350SUAB2 to the SATA port
of the computer.
2. Power on G-S350SUAB2 first, then turn on the computer.
3. After Mac OS boots up, it will recognize it automatically, ask you to
initialize the new drive if it was not initialized yet, and mount the
drive on desktop.
Above described connection and power sequence is referred to as Hot
Boot. There are total five power sequence modes by which an external
hard drive can possibly be used with a computer system. They are defined
as follows:
Hot Boot -Computer is off, enclosure is on and is attached to computer.
Boot up system.
Cold Boot - Computer is off, enclosure is off and is attached to computer.
Boot up system completely, then turn on the enclosure.
Hot Plug - System is up and running, enclosure is turned on then attached
to computer.
Cold Plug - System is up and running, enclosure is off then attached to
computer. Enclosure is turned on.
Power Cycle - System is up and running, enclosure is on and mounted on
the computer. Then, power off the enclosure, wait for several seconds and
turn the enclosure back on.
