not, correct this). If you predownloaded firmware image manually , place it
in mbwefolder and rename it to fw.img

Connect your hard disk
directly to the computer SATA controller(if possible) or alternatively using SATA-to-USBadapter (or
any other hotplug way, e.g. FireWire, eSATA). Find your disk label using Disk Utility(go to the top bar
menu System > Administration > Disk Utility) as shown on the picture below (here it is sdcbut yours can
be different).

Edit mbwe-config.shfile
in folder mbwe(right click on the file, choose Open in another applicationand select gediteditor) and
type your HDD and MBWE parameters (DISK_LABEL, MBWE_TYPE, MBWE_SERIALand MAC_ADDRS)
according to comments. Save file (CTRL+S) and close gedit.
NOTICE: If you really want to do this step on your own (some people are stubborn) then DO NOT
EVER USE word processorlike Wordnor Wordpadto edit *.shfiles – it must be a plain text (txt
file) Notepadlike editor (here Gedit). Otherwise, you might break these files leaving hidden formatting
characters and leading to unexpected results/errors.

Open Terminal
(CTRL+ALT+T) and type:
cd Desktop/mbwe
sudo bash ./mbwe-install.sh

After Safe Removed disk
using Disk Utility(click Safe Removalbutton), unplug MBWE from the power supplyand place HDD
in MBWE bay (any bay in MBWE II).

Plug MBWE to the power supplyback
and wait al least 30 seconds (up to several minutes) until MBWE initializes and shuts down itself (all
LEDs go off). Then hold Powerbutton (approx. for 3 seconds) until bottom LED goes on and wait at
least 3 minutes for MBWE to boot up. Then go through the first start procedure in MBWE web GUI
(provide MBWE IP address in your web browser and log in as admin/admin).
For MBWE Ithat's all.
