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

•To enable auto mount for Serial ATA, your host card driver needs eSATA 1.5Gbps Plug and Play support

•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

eSATA 1.5Gbps Plug and Play support required for host card driver.

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!
