Datasheet

To install the external RDX drive, complete the following steps:
1. Unpack the drive. Select a convenient location for the drive that is flat, stable,
level, and near the host server. The drive can be oriented either horizontally or
vertically.
2. Connect a USB cable connector to the USB connector on the back of the drive.
3. Connect the other USB cable connector to a USB 2.0 connector on the server.
4. Connect the power cable to the power connector on the drive and connect it to
an outlet.
5. Run the applicable RDX utility software for the operating system on your server.
See the software documentation that comes with the drive for more information.
Note:
If you install a new operating system on a server with an RDX drive
attached, make sure that the cartridge is removed. This prevents the
operating system from mistaking the RDX cartridge for the server hard
disk drive.
Installing the RDX utility software
To install the RDX utility application software on a server that is running a Windows
or Linux operating system, see the software documentation that comes with the
drive.
Note: Installation of the utility software is required for you to use the RDX drive
with a Windows operating system.
Installing the RDX backup software
To install the optional application software on a server that is running a Windows or
Linux operating system, see the software documentation that comes with the drive.
