This process will copy all of the files on the Fusion to another Fusion drive. This process is for transferring your data. Unfortunately there is no way to copy other the settings or external shares (such as microlinks, public status, shares, or tags, etc) to the replacement Maxtor Fusion™. Please refer to the Maxtor Fusion User’s Guide for the reconfiguration of these settings on your replacement unit.

Naming Conventions:
Original Fusion – the original Maxtor Fusion
Replacement Fusion – the replacement Maxtor Fusion that you just received
Make sure that the original Maxtor Fusion is connected and powered up before proceeding. Make sure that you have properly documented all network settings and sub-user account information for your original Maxtor Fusion. This information is critical to have before continuing this process. The Maxtor Fusion – Installation Checklist, found at the end of the Setup Guide provides you with a form that can be used for recording this information.

Connect and Setup the Replacement Fusion – Please refer to the Maxtor Fusion Setup Guide for more information.
After the Replacement Fusion is connected/and powered up:

1. Launch the Fabrik Setup

3. From the End User License Agreement window, check the box to, “…accept the terms of the agreement” (found at the bottom of this screen) and click the Next button.

 If the end User License Agreement screen is not displayed, you have selected the Original Fusion. Repeat steps 2 – 3 to setup the Replacement Fusion.

Copying Data from Original Fusion to Replacement Fusion - Windows

Next, you will use Windows File Sharing to copy the files between the drives.

1. Connect to the Original Fusion by clicking Start > Run. In the Open: field type \\IP address (for example 192.168.0.99) and click OK.
2. This will bring up a login window. You will want to enter the Original Fusion’s admin’s User name (admin) and password. Click OK.
3. An Explorer window opens showing the shares on the drive. Double click on Homes folder.
4. You will see a folder for each of the users. Go to the Edit Menu and select Select All (or press Ctrl-A). All user folders are now highlighted.
5. Once again, go to the Edit menu again and select Copy (or press Ctrl-C).
6. Connect to the Replacement Fusion by clicking Start à Run. In the Open: field type \\IP address (for example 192.168.0.98) and click OK.
7. This will bring up a login window. You will want to enter the Replacement Fusion’s admin’s User name (admin) and password. Click OK.
8. Open the Homes folder. You should see a folder for each user. Go to the Edit menu and select Paste (or Ctrl-V).
9. You will receive a pop up message asking you to overwrite files. Click Yes to All. At this point data will be transferred (copied) from the Original Fusion to the Replacement Fusion. The copy process can take several hours depending on how much data is being stored.

If your computer goes to sleep automatically, please disable it so the copy process can finish.
Once you have copied the data, you probably will want to make sure everything is copied over. Try logging in to the Fusion and browsing what files are available.

Wrapping Up:

• You are now ready to decommission the original drive. To do this, power off the Original Fusion.
• Lastly, you need to give the Replacement Fusion the Static IP Address of the Original Fusion. Open the web user interface on the Replacement Fusion, select Set Preferences, and then System Settings. Give the Replacement Fusion the Original Fusion’s IP address.

Additional Information:

Please return your Original Fusion using the pre-paid shipping label provided with your replacement. You can use the Replacement Fusion’s packaging to return the Original Fusion.
