Interface and Data Transfer Information

� data transfer is the flow of data that accomplishes

a task, usually related to moving data from storage to

computer R�M or between storage devices. During

data transfers, it’s best to wait before launching other

applications on the same USB 2.0 port. �nomalies may

arise with computers that have USB 2.0 controllers that

do not conform to OHCI (Open Host Controller In-

terface) standards. In any other configurations, we can-

not ensure 100% correct operation.

If you experience hanging problems, proceed as fol-

lows:

1. Make sure that the USB 2.0 cable is connected tight-

ly and securely on both ends of the cable, from the

drive to the computer.

2. Check that the power supply and ground connection

are seated properly.

3. Disconnect your computer’s USB 2.0 cable. Wait 30

seconds. Reconnect.

TECHNICAL NOTE:

Controller

- � control-

ler is a component or an electronic card (referred

to in this case as a “controller card”) that enables a

computer to communicate with or manage certain

peripherals. �n external controller is an expansion

card which fills one of the free slots (i.e. PCI or

PCMCI�) inside your PC and which enables a pe-

ripheral (ex. CD-R/RW drive, scanner or printer)

to be connected to the computer. If your computer

is not equipped with a USB controller card, you

can purchase an external controller through LaCie.
