Modifying your FireChief’s Read/Write Capabilities
The FireChief is shipped by default with one Read Only (write blocking) drive
bay and one Read/Writeable Drive bay. However, it can be configured to
enable Read-Only or Read-Write operation for both drive bays if desired. There
are a series of DIP switches on each of the FireWire bridges that control this
functionality.
