Most problems
occur due to driver
problems on the
Host Card side!
If you buy a spare
power adapter for
your working place
or at home, make
sure the output and
polarity is identical
with the power
adapter supplied!
Make sure not to
insert the Firewire
6-pin connector the
wrong way around,
or you will damage
the device!
Chapter 3 System Set Up
Connection to your Computer
A few tips on how to connect your external storage enclosure:
•
Make sure your PCI Host Card is installed correctly
•
Double check that the Host Card driver is up to date
•
If required, update your Operating System or BIOS
•
Only one interface at the time can be used
•
Only one computer at the time can access the drive
•
To use one drive on several computers, it can be shared
through one computer on the network (1394 network,
company network)
•
Firewire can be daisy chained
•
All devices in a daisy chain have to be switched on to
permit the hub/daisy chain function
•
Do not cover the Enclosure and leave enough room around
it for the drive to cool down
•
Do not expose the product to water or humid conditions
•
If possible, arrange the cables so they do not cross each
other
•
Always check for visible damage and defects of power and
interface cables before using it
•
We recommend using the cables and adapter supplied with
your product
