b. Click the Erase tab in the window to the right.

Extended with Journaling (HFS+), which is
required for compatibility with Time Machine (OS
10.5 or newer). If you need to use your RAX unit with
both Mac and Windows computers, select MS-DOS
File System instead.
d. Enter a name for the new volume and then click
Erase to start the process.
4.1.2 Mounting and Unmounting Volumes
If the hard drive installed in the RAX unit is already
formatted, an icon representing the drive’s volume will
appear (mount) on the desktop. You can begin using
the volume right away. If the drive is unformatted, a
message will appear on the desktop saying that the disk
is unreadable. Use OS X’s Disk Utility to easily format the
drive (see section above).
Unmount the volume before
powering down the unit by
dragging the volume’s icon to the
Trash, or by selecting the volume
then pressing Command-E.
Disconnecting the unit without
first unmounting the volume can
result in data loss.
4.1.3 Creating a Boot Drive
To activate this feature, you must first install OS X on the
hard drive in your carrier. The easiest way to do this is
to clone an existing system drive using a utility such as
Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper. Next, go to System
Preferences
→ Startup Disk. A window will list the
available bootable volumes. Select the volume from
which you wish to boot. Another method is to hold down
the Option key during boot up. A screen should appear
that allows you to select the volume you wish to use. This
your operating system, the drive will need to be formatted
before being used. See Section 4 for formatting instructions.
NOTE: If any of the drives are inaccessible after
powering on the unit, try the following steps:
1. Turn off the power.
2. Remove the drive(s) in question.
3. Reinsert the drive(s).
4. Turn on the power.
