WD SMARTWARE SOFTWARE USER MANUAL Naming the Drive Some configurations of the following drives have a customizable label that you can use to name your drive: • My Book Elite • My Book Studio • My Passport Studio The name that you specify remains on your drive even when it is turned off or disconnected from your computer. To specify a name for your drive: 1. On the Home screen, if you have more than one external device connected to your computer, select the icon for the one that you want to name. 2. Click the Settings tab and Set Up Drive to display the Drive Settings screen (see Figure 4 on page 15). 3. On the Drive Settings screen, click Label to display the Set Label dialog: 4. On the Set Label dialog: a. Type a name for your drive in the label box. b. Select or clear the Invert label check box to establish the label presentation that you want-dark text against a light background, or vice versa. c. Click Save Settings. Setting the Drive Sleep Timer The drive sleep timer turns off the power to your drive after a certain period of inactivity to conserve power and minimize long-term wear on the drive. To specify the inactivity period for the sleep timer: 1. On the Home screen, if you have more than one external device connected to your computer, select the icon for the one that you want to set. 2. Click the Settings tab and Set Up Drive to display the Drive Settings screen (see Figure 4 on page 15). Note: If you see the Software Settings screen instead of the WD SmartWare Settings tab display with the Set Up Drive button, then you must use the WD Drive Utilities software to set the sleep timer for the selected external device.
