Chapter 2: Getting to Know

the Instant GigaDrive™

All of the Instant
GigaDrive’s connec-
tors and switches are
on the rear panel, as
shown in Figure 2-1.

Power Switch

The Power switch is a spring-loaded soft switch that powers
the Instant GigaDrive™ on and off. If the Instant GigaDrive™
is not powered on, pressing the Power switch will start the
Instant GigaDrive’s start-up process. Pressing the Power
switch while the Instant GigaDrive™ is turned on will begin
it’s internal shut-down process. The Instant GigaDrive™ must
be powered off this way, or through its internal shutdown
process that is located in the web configuration.

Power Port

The Power Input port is where the power cord plugs in.
Never remove the power cord while the Instant Gigadrive™
is turned on.

Printer Port

You can also add a printer to your network through the
Instant GigaDrive’s Printer port. You attach a printer using
DB-25 printer cable.
