NOTES
eSATA
eSATA Data Cable (24")
After connecting via eSATA, it may take up to 15
seconds for the media to display on the com-
puter.
FireWire 800
RED STATION FW800 Cable (2")
RED STATION FW800 Cable (24")
The computer supplies power to the RED
STATION via the FireWire 800 connection, so
it’s not necessary to use the RED STATION
AC POWER ADAPTOR. However, RED recom-
mends using the power adaptor for optimal
performance.
You can use the 2" FireWire 800 cables (in-
cluded with each RED STATION) to daisy-
chain the RED STATIONS. Then, use one (1)
FireWire 800 cable to connect one (1) RED
STATION to the computer. The computer then
recognizes each RED STATION through a sin-
gle FireWire connection.
Mini USB
USB-TO-MINI USB CABLE (24”)
If connecting to the computer using a different
Mini USB cable than provided, power the RED
STATION with the RED STATION AC POWER
ADAPTOR.

4. If offloading a REDMAG 1.8" SSD (48GB) or a REDMAG 1.8" SSD (512GB), power the RED STATION with a
RED STATION USB TO DC POWER CABLE (24"). Using an eSATA or USB connection alone may not power
the RED STATION.
