3.6. Switching Between USB And FireWire Connections
Hi-Speed USB 2.0 and FireWire are “hot-pluggable,” meaning that you can connect a drive to a USB or FireWire port on
your computer even when the computer is running. However, there are important steps to follow for your drive to function
properly. When changing from a Hi-Speed USB 2.0 connection to a FireWire connection (and vice versa), follow these steps:
Follow the steps in section
3.5 Disconnecting Your LaCie Drive
to unmount the drive.
Disconnect the USB or FireWire cable.
Connect either the USB or FireWire cable.
After switching between interfaces, you may need to quit the application that you were using to access the drive and then
reboot the program. The drive should then be visible and accessible.
