Glyph GT 062 - Manual (Page 9)

Note: The Glyph Manager will start automatically when the computer is booted. Since there are options to
disable this automatic launch of Glyph Manager, it is recommended that at least one of the above options
(icon or Start Menu folder) be used to provide a manual way to launch the Glyph Manager.
The final step of the installation provides three options:
View readme.doc
Launch Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0
Launch Glyph Manager
The readme.doc contains support contact information and should be reviewed.
Glyph Manager requires Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0 to be installed. It is recommended that this
option be allowed. If .NET Framework Version 2.0 is already installed, the Glyph Manager installation will not
attempt to overwrite what’s already there. If the installation does detect an existing .NET Framework Version
2.0 already installed, a “Maintenance Mode” dialog box will appear offering the choice to “Repair” or “Unin-
stall”. Neither of these options should be selected and the Cancel button should be clicked. Taking this ac-
tion will require confirmation by clicking Yes in response to the “Are you sure…” message that follows. Lastly,
click Finish in the Setup Cancelled dialog box.
Glyph Manager Operation in Windows XP and Windows Vista:
The Glyph Manager will start automatically and will display a Glyph icon in the lower right corner of the sys-
tem tray. Right clicking on this icon and then selecting Show will invoke the Glyph Manager to the screen.
When a GT 062 is connected to the computer either by USB, FireWire 400 or FireWire 800, information about
the drives within the 062 will be displayed.
To change the mode of the drives, click the Change Drive Configuration button and select the desired con-
figuration on the following screen.
Note: After changing drive mode, it is necessary to utilize the Windows Control Panel/Administrative Tools/
Computer Management/Disk Management to format the drives in their new configuration before they will
be usable.
The Glyph Manager menu options are as follows:
“File” contains the method to close the program.
“Tools” contains Options with four settings involving the starting and stopping of Glyph Manager.
“Help” contains About Glyph Manager information as well as help files.
The last line of Glyph manager tells you the Windows policy settings for your GT 062. If the line reads “quick
removal – BAD”, then you may experience slow write speeds to the Glyph drive. The default Windows set-
tings for FireWire-connected drives can reduce your Glyph drive performance by as much as 90%. This prob-
lem is easily corrected, just follow the instructions in the Glyph document
630012_WinXP_Vista_write_performance.pdf.
