PX-755UF Installation and Users Manual
Switching Between USB and IEEE 1394
Interfaces
You can connect any or all of the interface cables (USB, IEEE 1394
4-pin, and IEEE 1394 6-pin) and switch between them. You can even
have different cables attached at the same time, allowing more than one
computer to share the PX-755UF.
To switch between interfaces attached to the PX-755UF:
1.
Ensure an interface cable for the desired USB or IEEE 1394
interface is attached to the PX-755UF and to the computer.
2.
At the rear of the PX-755UF, set the interface switch to the desired
interface.
3.
Cycle the PX-755UF power. (That is, turn the PX-755UF’s power
switch off, then on again.)
If You’re Using FireWire
If you are using FireWire (IEEE 1394), remember these hints for better
operation:
•
Do not daisy-chain the PX-755UF; that is, do not connect it to the
same cable along with other FireWire devices.
•
The PX-755UF is not bus powered—that is, it doesn’t get its power
from the IEEE 1394 cable—so you have to use the bundled AC
adapter.
