Connect the power supply to the ABSplus drive and the AC
power cable to a power outlet, and turn the ABSplus on. The blue power LED should be
illuminated.
Notebook FireWire users:
FireWire ABSplus units are supplied with standard 6-Pin to
6-Pin cables. 6-Pin FireWire ports supply power and data to the ABSplus unit.
4-Pin mini-1394a FireWire connectors, found on some computers, provide data only
and require a power kit.
Power kits are available at: www.cmsproducts.com/product_accessories.htm.
