3. Activate your DockStar network adapter.

Go to www.seagate.com/activatemydockstar to complete the activation process, which

includes registering your DockStar network adapter. At the end of activation, you are guided

to the Pogoplug service page to complete the setup process. Follow the on-screen

instructions.

4. Connect a drive to the DockStar network adapter.

You can connect your FreeAgent Go™ drive or any compatible USB mass storage device at

any time—even after activation. The DockStar network adapter has three additional USB

ports so you can connect up to four devices. If your external drive has its own power source,

make sure that it is connected and turned on.

Note: Make sure that the drive you connect to the DockStar network adapter is formatted (most

drives are). Drives cannot be formatted while connected to the network adapter.

Once connected, your USB drive automatically shows up in My library in the Pogoplug Web

interface. You can change the name of your drive as it appears in the Web interface. (See the

Pogoplug help for instructions.) You can also have your drive appear as a drive letter on your

computer by using the drive application. See “Accessing Your Content Using the Drive

Application” on page 16 for more details.

Note: Since your drive is now networked, your computer does not need to be powered on to access

the content on your drive from other computers.
