Introduction
1.7 Connecting Hard Drives
1.7.1 Inserting the Internal 3.5 inch IDE Drive
Insert the internal 3.5 inch IDE drive as follows:
1. Remove the drive from its packaging.
2. Slide the drive carefully into the bay until it is seated firmly.
3. Press the Lock Handle flush with the chassis face to lock the drive in
place.
To remove the drive, slide the Release Lever to the right. The Lock Handle
disengages. Pull the drive toward you to remove it.
1.7.2 Using External Disk Drives
In addition to using a 3.5 inch IDE drive in the internal slot, you can also
connect any FireWire disk drive to the HDD I/O port on the FS-2/2E.
Power a single FireWire disk drive on the FS-2/2E at any given time.
If you are using more than one external FireWire drive, you must provide
external power to them. It may also be necessary to partition and format the
drives before their use with the FS-2/2E. Refer to Formatting the Drive on
page 13 for instructions on preparing drives before use.
This drive is not intended for hot-swap operation.
Hot-swapping External FireWire Drives
You can hot-swap connected external FireWire HDDs on the FS-2/2E. This means
you can disconnect and connect drives from the system without the need to power
cycle the unit. However, make sure the FS-2/2E is in STOP mode before removing a
disk drive.
