VI-ON series external enclosure fully supports Windows 

XP, Vista and Mac OS 9.04+.  There are no additional 

drivers involved.  Once USB or eSATA connection is 

established with computer, Windows or Mac operating 

system will automatically install the required drivers.

IMPORTANT:

If hard drive used is a brand new and has not been 

formatted or partitioned, please follow Manufacturer's 

instructions on how to format and partition the hard drive.

2.2 Connecting VI-ON

Troubleshooting:

Q: After connecting the enclosure to the computer, it shows driver has been 

     installed but I am still unable to find the drive on my operating system.

A: If the hard drive is brand new, you will need to first format and partition the hard 

    drive before it can be recognized by the computer.  Please refer to your hard 

    drive Manufacturer's instructions on how to format and partition the hard drive.

Q: I can not heat the sound of fan when the enclosure is connected to computer, 

     is that normal?

A: That is perfectly normal.  With the Active SMART Cooling System embedded, 

     VI-ON series enclosure is able to dynamically change fan speed according to 

     a real-time temperature sensor.  Depending on the surrounding temperature 

     and hard drive activity, fan speed might change accordingly to properly 

     dissipate heat.

Q: Are the 4 included rubber feet required for proper usage?

A: If you are planning to use the VI-ON external enclosure on the included base 

    unit, those rubber feet are not required.  If VI-ON will be placed vertically without 

    the use of base unit, then the 4 rubber will be required as they elevate the main 

    unit off the ground for proper heat exhaust.
