D8 User Guide

Chapter 1 - Introduction

Specially designed as an affordable yet advanced advertisement solution, Macpower's D8

offers an array of new and unique features. Small footprint and customisable firmware

makes this the ideal solution for networked advertisement displays and other broadcasts.

The D8 is a flexible device in that it can be used in conjunction with or without internal

storage media. The following illustration shows three of the possible set-up scenarios for

the device.

1- The D8 is used without internal storage. The content is stored on a PC at the same

location and data is accessed over the local area network (LAN).

2 - A hard drive or CF card is installed and data is stored on the D8. Each unit has its own

storage but new content can automatically be downloaded at a certain time over the

internet (WAN) from a server.

3- There is no network connection whatsoever. The data is accessed from an USB drive

via one of D8’s USB ports.

Note: See Chapter 4 for a detailed explanation on how to set up each of these scenarios.

Chapter 2 - Hardware Installation

For the download function to work, an internal drive has to be installed. Depending on the

model, this can be following:

D8-OEM

•3.5” IDE drive up to 750GB

•2.5” IDE drive (requires HDD module)

•CF card (requires CF module)

•2.5” IDE drive (requires HDD module)

•CF card (requires CF module)

D8H

•3.5” SATA drive up to 750GB

•2.5” SATA drive

Note: The D8 only supports the FAT32 file system or for CF cards also FAT16. Make sure

your hard drive is formatted using FAT32 before you install it. If formatted using NTFS, the

D8 will be able to read from the drive but will not be able to write to it!

1. Prepare your hard drive and format it using FAT32.

2. Install the drive or CF card and make sure all cables are connected.

3. Switch the power on your D8 to ON, and wait for the system to boot.

4. If you already have some media files on the drive, you will now be able to access

them from the file library.

5. If the drive is still empty, use the File Copy command in the Setup menu to copy

new files from an external USB drive to the internal HDD or CF card.

D8 User Guide

3.5” HDD Modification - D8-OEM

For the D8 to recognise the internal drive, the HDD has to spin up and be ready before the

system boots. For some hard drives, the spin up time can be quite long and some drives

may not be recognised at all.

If this is the case with your drive, adjust the jumper on the D8-OEM bridge board to delay

the boot time and leave more time for the drive to spin up. Refer to the following image for

the modified jumper setting.

Note: Leave the jumper at its default position for 2.5” drives and CF cards. This

modification is only necessary for 3.5” drives with a long spin up time. The D8-OEM

supports 3.5” IDE hard drives up to 750GB.
