CONNECT RED MINI-MAGS TO YOUR COMPUTER

This section explains how to connect a RED MINI-MAG to your computer using a RED STATION RED MINI-MAG.

STATIONs (for REDMAG 1.8" SSDs).
1. Place RED STATION RED MINI-MAG on a firm, flat surface.

FireWire 800

RED STATION FW800 Cable (2")

RED STATION FW800 Cable (24")

The computer supplies power to the

RED STATION RED MINI-MAG via the FireWire

800 connection, so it’s not necessary to use

the RED STATION AC POWER ADAPTOR.

However, RED recommends using the power

adaptor for optimal performance.

You can use the 2" FireWire 800 cables (in-

cluded with each RED STATION) to daisy-

chain the RED STATIONs. Then, use one (1)

FireWire 800 cable to connect one (1) RED

STATION to the computer. The computer then

recognizes each RED STATION through a sin-

gle FireWire connection.

USB 3.0

RED STATION USB 3.0 CABLE (24") If connecting to the computer using a differ-

ent Mini USB cable than provided, power the

RED STATION RED MINI-MAG with the RED STA-

TION AC POWER ADAPTOR.

3. If using an eSATA connection, power the RED STATION RED MINI-MAG with either of the following cables:

‒ RED STATION AC POWER ADAPTOR

‒ RED STATION USB TO DC POWER CABLE (24")

4. Set the ON/OFF switch on the back of the RED STATION RED MINI-MAG to ON.
5. Install the RED MINI-MAG in the media slot on the front panel of the RED STATION RED MINI-MAG.
6. The computer recognizes the inserted RED MINI-MAG and displays the RED MINI-MAG as a new drive.
