Chapter 3 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
• 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
