Freecom DataTank
High speed data transfer via the USB 2.0 or Firewire port is perfect for saving your data,
backing up files, archiving, audio playbacks and any other applications that requires
rapid access to files.
For you convenience, the Freecom DataTank is partitioned (one partition) and prefor-
matted before shipment (NTFS file system). If you want to format the Freecom DataTank
using a different file system, you should first consider the potential problems you may
encounter when using the Freecom DataTank with a computer other than the one used
to format the device.
Recommended installation sequence
1. Install the Freecom software.
2. Attach the port cable to the device and plug the power supply into the socket. Then
connect the other end of the cable to the port on the computer.
