Chapter 3: Installing the Instant

GigaDrive™

This chapter instructs you on how to physically connect the Instant
GigaDrive™ to your network. This chapter also covers the hook-up of a print-
er on the Instant GigaDrive’s print server port. Please note, however, that the
Instant GigaDrive™ will perform equally well as a storage device with or with-
out an attached printer. If you aren’t interested in taking advantage of the
Instant GigaDrive’s print server function, skip any steps that deal with printer
installation. The Instant GigaDrive’s installation process will work fine without
them.

1. Determine if the Instant GigaDrive™ will be installed onto a network or

directly to a PC. If connecting the Instant GigaDrive™ to a network device,
the Uplink button located on the Instant GigaDrive’s rear pane should not
be pressed. If connecting directly to a PC, the Uplink button should not be
pressed in. If it is, press it once to release it.

2. Connect the network cable that came with the Instant GigaDrive™ to the

LAN port. Connect the other end of the cable to your hub, switch, or PC.

3. Connect a printer to the Instant GigaDrive. Connect a standard printer cable

to the GigaDrive’s rear-panel printer port. Connect the other end of the
cable to your printer.

4. Connect the power supply. Plug the supplied power cord into the Instant

GigaDrive’s Power port that is located on the rear panel. Connect the power
cord to a power outlet.
