the computer. To disconnect, remove the cable from the computer first.

Step 5. Installing drivers for the Cavalry External Hard Drive.  
Windows 2000/XP/Vista  
Plug-and-play. No device drivers or configuration required. The  
computer will detect the CADB-U34 as two new USB devices and  
display messages on the bottom-right corner reading "USB Mass  
Storage Device Detected." After a few moments, a message at the  
bottom-right should read "Your new hardware is installed and  
ready to use."  
Windows 98/Me  
1. Make sure Windows 98/Me is fully updated  
by clicking on "Windows 98 Driver". Extract the file.  
3. Navigate the device manager.  
11  
 
4. Right-click on the yellow question mark indicating an unknown  
external storage device.  
5. When the device driver wizard starts, click on the "Browse" button  
to select the search directory to find drivers.  
6. Find the USB 2.0-98 driver in the extracted file.  
7. Click "Next" to continue.  
Mac OS X  
Reformat the external hard drive using Disk Utility on the OS.  
Step 6. Your external hard drive is now ready to use. If you go to "My  
Computer" the CADB-U34 will show up as 2 separate volumes. For example,  
you may see two new disk drives named "New Volume (E:)" and "New  
Volume (F:)".  
12  
 
NOTE: The CADB-U34 is preconfigured in BIG / Spanning mode to allow the  
four hard drives to function as two singular volumes, each with the capacity  
of two drives. If you wish to change the configuration to JBOD, where the  
four drives will be recognized as four separate drives, please email customer  
service for assistance: [email protected]  
13  
 
Using Synchronized Sleep Mode  
In Synchronized Sleep mode, your CADB-U34 senses when the computer to  
which it is connected is in standby mode, hibernate mode, or is turned off.  
The CADB-U34 will go to "sleep," stopping disk rotation and saving energy.  
To Change the Synchronized  
Sleep mode settings, make sure  
the unit is on and booted up,  
then use the switch on the back  
of the unit labeled "System  
Startup." (see right)  
When this switch indicates "ON",  
synchronized sleep mode is on.

Troubleshooting  
LED light indicator does not turn on  
Make sure the power adapter is securely connected to a working electrical  
outlet. Secondly, make sure the USB cable is inserted correctly into the hard  
drive and the computer. Turn on the power switch (page 7).  
Computer does not detect hard drive  
Make sure the USB cable is securely connected. If this still does not work,  
attach another known working device and working cable into the USB port  
on the computer. If the known working device is not detected, the problem  
could be your computer's USB port. If the port and cable both work and the  
hard drive is still not being detected, contact customer support.

Loud noises coming from external hard drive  
In most cases, loud noises coming from the drive suggest a defective drive or  
a loose part. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Please  
contact customer service for assistance.  
HDD1 / HDD2 / HDD3 / HDD4 LED lights become red  
This indicates one of the drives may need replacing. Open the enclosure,  
remove the failed hard drive and replace with the new drive. Close the unit.  
Hard drive will not work with my Mac  
Macs require special formatting. Format the hard drive according to the  
Formatting Guide available in the "Contents" folder of the Resources CD or
