6. 操作手順
6.1動作モード
The ZM-VE350 features three primary operating modes, selectable via the jog-switch:
- HDD Mode: Functions as a standard external hard drive for data storage and transfer.
- ODD Mode (Virtual Optical Drive): Emulates a CD/DVD/Blu-ray drive, allowing you to mount ISO image files. This is particularly useful for installing operating systems or running bootable utilities.
- デュアルモード: Operates as both an HDD and a virtual optical drive simultaneously.
6.2 Using the Jog-Switch
The jog-switch is a multi-functional control:
- プレス: Short press to confirm selection or enter a menu. Long press to switch between operating modes (HDD, ODD, Dual).
- 上/下にスクロール: Rotate the jog-switch up or down to navigate through menus or select ISO files in ODD mode.
6.3 Virtual Optical Drive Function (ODD Mode)
To utilize the virtual optical drive function:
- Create a folder named _ISO (case-insensitive) in the root directory of your installed HDD/SSD.
- Place your ISO image files (e.g., Windows installation, Linux distributions, utility discs) into the _ISO folder. You can organize them into subfolders if desired.
- Switch the ZM-VE350 to ODD Mode or Dual Mode using the jog-switch.
- Use the jog-switch to navigate and select the desired ISO file from the display. The enclosure will then mount the ISO as a virtual optical drive.
- To refresh the ISO list after adding new files, navigate to the "Menu" option on the display and scroll the jog-switch upwards. A confirmation message should appear.
注記: For optimal performance and compatibility, ensure your HDD/SSD is formatted to NTFS for ODD mode functionality.
