Follow the steps below to connect the USB Peerless Drive System to your computer.

1. If you have not already installed the IomegaWare software, install it now

and shut down your computer.

(Even though the Peerless drive system is plug-and-play, shutting down your computer the first time

you connect the drive system makes it easier for the computer to recognize the drive when you restart.)

2. Connect the Peerless USB cable to the USB port on your computer.

Look for "USB" or the USB symbol* (shown above), which usually identifies the USB connection.

If you cannot locate the USB connection on your computer, refer to the documentation for your

For the best performance, connect the Peerless drive system to a built-in USB port on the computer.

USB ports usually come in pairs (sometimes four or more ports may be located together). You can use

any built-in USB port.

section.

Connecting Your FireWire®Peerless Drive System

To connect your FireWire Peerless Drive System, first determine your type of FireWire connection (either 6-

pin or 4-pin). Then use the instructions for either Connecting Your Peerless Drive System to a 6-pin FireWire

Connector or Connecting Your Peerless Drive System to a 4-pin FireWire Connector as appropriate.

Determining Your Type of FireWire Connection

There are two types of FireWire connectors. Most desktop computers have 6-pin FireWire connectors and

most laptop computers have 4-pin FireWire connectors (iLink®). Some desktops have both. The 6-pin

connection is the preferred connection. Computers that have 6-pin devices can supply power to some

devices. Determine the type of connector that is on your computer. Click on the picture of your connector to

continue to the next step.

CAUTION! If you are connecting multiple FireWire devices, read the FireWire Guidelines and

Troubleshooting

for FireWire Devices sections in this User's Manual for important power information to prevent potential

system or device damage.

The FireWire cable, attached to the Peerless drive module, can be connected to the computer while the

computer is running.

you restart.)
