Hardware Installation

Connect the USB cable to the interface port of your computer.

Since USB 2.0 is backwards compatible with USB 1.1, the FHD-XS can be

connected to all USB ports. When connected to a USB 1.1 port, however,

the performance (data transfer rate) of the FHD-XS will be much lower

than when the drive is connected to a USB 2.0 port.

For optimal performance, the FHD-XS should always be connected to a

USB 2.0 port. The Freecom USB 2.0 PCI Host Controller Card is available

at www.freecom.com.

Recommended after Hardware installation

(only Windows 98:) After you have connected the FHD-XS, please start with the

driver installation, as in chapter 3.1 on page 12 described.

(Windows ME / 2000 / XP:) Under Windows ME / 2000 / XP a separate Freecom

driver is not required. The drivers for Windows ME, Windows 2000 and Windows

XP will be installed automatically by the operating system after plugging in the

Freecom FHD-XS into the USB port of the computer.
Your Freecom FHD-XS is fully backwards compatible with USB 1.1.
