Using Your Drive
G SPEED Q
™
Warning LED Alarms
G-SPEED Q is equipped with visual alarms to alert you to any possible malfunction.
There is a red LED on the bottom right of the unit and amber LEDs on each drive
module. These LEDs will ash for about 45 seconds when the unit is rst powered on.
• If the red warning light is lit, there is a failure of one of the
internal components. Stop using G-SPEED Q and contact our
Technical Support.
• If the amber warning light is lit, there is a drive failure for that
particular module. You will need to replace a drive module.
Read how in Replace a Failed Drive Module.
NOTE: Although there is a switch for the Audible Alarm on the
rear of the unit,
it is not functional. G-SPEED Q only supports visual alarms.

Disconnect the Drive
A great feature of G-SPEED Q is its ability to connect and disconnect while your com-
puter is running. To prevent failures and/or data loss, it is important to follow the steps
below when disconnecting or ‘unmounting’ the drive from your computer.
1. Before powering down and disconnecting the drive, unmount the system by
simply dragging the G-SPEED Q icon to the trash located in the dock.
Keyboard shortcut: Select the drive icon and hit Command+E.
2. It is safe to remove the drive from your system and power it down when the drive icon
is no longer present on your desktop.
