Follow these guidelines to ensure optimal and reliable performance of your Iomega Peerless USB drive
system and other USB devices.
You can...
l
You can use your USB Peerless Drive System on either of the following: a Mac with built-in USB
running Mac OS 8.6 through 9.X or a PC with built-in USB running Windows 98, Windows Me, or
Windows 2000. (Some USB controllers or motherboards may not support all types of USB devices.)
l
You can connect or disconnect your USB device while your computer is on if you are using a Mac or
running Windows 98, Windows Me, or Windows 2000. (
To prevent any data loss
, eject the disk
disconnecting the interface cable or power cable from the interface module.)
NOTE:
PC users must stop the USB Peerless Drive System first. Mac users should select the Peerless
icon and use the
Put Away
command or drag the disk onto the trash icon.
l
You can optimize your USB Peerless Drive System's performance by disconnecting other USB devices
when using your USB Peerless Drive System. The performance of all USB devices decreases as
additional USB devices are connected.
l
You can ensure maximum performance by connecting your USB Peerless Drive System directly to one
of the USB connections on your computer instead of to a USB hub or keyboard.
l
You can avoid some system lockups by waiting at least 30 seconds after connecting or disconnecting
any USB device. (This allows the system to re-enumerate the USB bus.) Do not connect, disconnect or
use any other USB device during this time.
