The optional digital media card included with selected Bonzai models is formatted at the 

factory as a FAT volume—allowing you to format the drive and access data using 

standard Windows and Mac OS tools. For instructions on formatting drives, refer to the 

documentation provided with your computer’s operating system.

Mac users get better performance 

when Bonzai is formatted as a Mac 

OS Extended volume. To format 

the drive in Mac OS X, do the 

following:

Open Disk Utility and select 

your Bonzai.

From the Volume Format list, 

choose Mac OS Extended 

(Journaled).

Click the Erase button.

After formatting Bonzai for Mac OS, you can customize the Finder window for quick 

access to the files and folders on the drive.
