Chapter 2: Hardware Installation
Before connecting the cables make sure the Freecom Hard Drive is switched off (See
Chapter 2.1).
1. Connect the interface cable to the Freecom Hard Drive.
2. Connect the cable of the power supply to the Freecom
Hard Drive and the power supply itself to the socket.
3. Connect the interface cable to the interface port of your
computer.
4. Switch on the Freecom Hard Drive.
Since USB 2.0 is backwards compatible with USB 1.1, the Freecom Hard Drive
can be connected to all USB ports. When connected to a USB 1.1 port, however,
the performance (data transfer rate) of the Freecom Hard Drive will be much
lower than when the drive is connected to a USB 2.0 port.
