Connecting DCM300 to a computer
Once your hard drive is installed in DCM300, you are ready to use it with your computer.
To do so, follow these easy steps:
1.
Insert the USB or Firewire 400/800 connector to
your computer’s corresponding port.
2.
Insert the USB or Firewire 400/800 to DCM300’s
corresponding port. Ensure correct connector
orientation to obtain a snug fit.
3.
The unit’s backlight will turn on, indicating that
DCM300 has powered up.
Notes on using USB port:
•
Do not attempt to use DCM300 when connected to a bus-powered USB hub or USB
extension cable.
•
Connecting to a non-USB compliant port may cause operation damage or failure.
•
If insufficient power to DCM300, connect both connectors of the USB Y-cable to the
computer’s USB ports.
•
To achieve USB 2.0 speeds, always connect DCM300 to a USB 2.0 Hi-Speed port.
Notes on using Firewire port:
•
If you are using Firewire 400, please ensure that you have a 9-to-6 pin bilingual cable
and connect the 6 pin end to the computer’s Firewire port.
