Instructions for Windows PC Users

Note: it is VERY IMPORTANT that you follow certain procedures

prior to connecting and configuring your PowerFile Changer.

These procedures include disabling the System Standby Mode,

loading the PowerFile MediaFinder software, and checking for

proper installation of the PowerFile drivers. These procedures

are outlined below.

Additionally, if your system does not have an OHCI-compliant 1394 PCI host adapter card

installed, you must install one before proceeding with the installation outlined in this

document.

To properly install and set up your PowerFile Changer, follow the steps below, in the order

presented.

Disable System Standby

Prior to installing the PowerFile MediaFinder software on a host PC, and turning on the

Changer for the first time, it is important that you follow the instructions below for disabling

the System Standby feature. Follow the appropriate section below, depending on whether the

Changer will be connected to a host system running indows 98SE / indows Me, or

indows 2000.

Disabling System Standby feature - Windows 98SE / Windows Me

Go to Control Panel, and select Power Management

PowerFile MediaFinder software

PowerFile MediaExplorer software for the PC has been tightly integrated into indows Explorer

by adding shell extensions that enhance Explorer with Changer functionality. In this way,

controlling PowerFile Changers is a seamless experience for users familiar with the Explorer

interface.

Installing PowerFile MediaFinder software on the host PC

1 Load the PowerFile software CD into the CD drive of the host PC.

2 On the PC desktop, go to My Computer and select the computer’s CD drive.

3 From the Software Install CD, run Setup.exe and follow the onscreen instructions to load

the software onto the host PC.

You will have the option of installing the host software or the client software. Select Host.

Note: Installation of the host softwa e will install both host and client

softwa e, allowing the system to be a host fo Change s connected to it, and

a client to Change s connected to othe systems on the netwo k.

Upon completion of running the Setup.exe program, you must restart your computer.

Connecting Changer and Checking for proper driver installation

The PowerFile Changer requires that the PowerFile software driver be installed on the host

system. hile this is often accomplished during normal device software installation, (as outlined

above) we have found that indows 98SE, Me, and indows 2000 will require that you confirm

proper driver installation. This process is outlined below.

To be assured that the drivers have been installed properly, you must first connect the Changer

to the host system, as outlined below. Once that has been done, go to the section in this

manual for the appropriate host operating system to perform the driver installation check.

Connecting PowerFile Changers to the host PC

Important! You must disable System Standby, and load the

PowerFile software before you connect the Changer to the host

computer! Read and follow all instructions above before

proceeding with this next step.

Note: The Change must be placed on a flat, stable su face. If the unit is

ope ated on a tilted o unstable su face, the discs will not sit co ectly in the

ca ousel, and p oblems with loading and mounting discs could occu .

1 Be sure that the power button on the Changer is in the 'off' position (not depressed).

2 Plug the power cord into the back of the Changer, then plug the other end into a

grounded wall receptacle or fused power strip.

3 Plug the IEEE 1394 cable into any of the three ports in the back of the Changer, then

plug the other end into an open IEEE 1394 port on the host PC.

connected to the host system as outlined above, you can check for proper driver installation.

ith the MediaFinder software install disc still in the CD drive of the host system, depress the

power button on the Changer to power up the unit. (The PowerFile Changer will go through a

quick self-diagnostic, the carousel will spin, and the display window will display the PowerFile

Changer model.

Go to Control Panel on the host PC, and select "System"

hen the following window appears, select the Device Manager tab. Look for a folder icon

labeled "Medium Changers". If you see this icon, you should see an icon in that folder labeled

with either "STARMATIX INC...", or "PowerFile..." with a Changer model identification. If you

see this, driver installation was successful, and you can skip to the next section.

If you do not see the "Medium Changer" folder icon, then you should see an icon labeled

"Other Devices", and within that folder you will see either "STARMATIX INC...", or

"PowerFile..." with a Changer model identification. This indicates that the driver needs to be

installed.
