Connection to your Computer
A few tips on how to use your external storage enclosure:
• The M9 was designed to be placed under a Mac Mini
• Do not cover the enclosure’s exhaust vent
• Do not expose the product to water or humid conditions
Hard Disk Mode
For M9-DX2, the disk drive will mount to the first connection
that is presented. This will remain the default setting until the
device is next restarted. For M9-S2 and M9-S2H, the eSATA
connection has priority.
When not in use, turn off the power. This goes especially for
the M9-S2 and M9-S2H model, because for those, only SATA II
hard drives support stand-by. The M9-DX2 supports stand-by
and will go into stand-by depending on the status of your
Operating System.
Hub function
In order for the USB Hub function to work, the USB cable must
be attached to your computer and the power has to be ON.
This function is only available for the M9-S2H and the M9-DX2.
Fan Setting
There are 3 modes available for you to select the desired
cooling. Automatic (Auto) / Manual Low (M/L)/ Manual High
(M/H).
We recommend you use the Auto mode. When this mode is
selected the M9 automatically adjusts the fan speed up and
down as necessary to keep the HDD cool. Ensure the thermal
probe is attached to your drive to use the Auto mode.
