eSATA Connection

For best performance and compatibility with Windows Server and Linux,
connect the drive to an eSATA host adapter or a built-in external eSATA
connection. Connect the drive to USB if a supported eSATA connection is not
available.

1.

Verify eSATA drivers are properly installed.

NOTE:

You do not need to install special drivers for the SoloPRO hard

drive. It is supported by the drivers included with the eSATA host
adapter or built-in eSATA connection.

2.

Shut down the computer.

NOTE:

Your eSATA interface may NOT be hot plug compatible. Shutting

down the computer before connecting, powering-on or disconnecting
the drive will make sure the SoloPRO mounts properly on your
computer.
