PX-755UF Installation and Users Manual
21
If You Have a Macintosh
If you have a Macintosh, use the following procedure to install your
PX-755UF drive:
1.
Turn on the Macintosh.
2.
Check the minimum system requirements for your Macintosh
recording application and ensure you are running the required Mac
OS version.
3.
On the PX-755UF, set the rear-panel interface switch to USB or
IEEE 1394, corresponding to the interface you will be using.
4.
Connect the AC adapter to your PX-755UF.
5.
Turn the drive’s power switch ON (the “1” is depressed). The power
indicator is illuminated when power is applied.
6.
Connect the USB cable or an IEEE 1394 cable from your PX-755UF
drive to the Macintosh computer.
The Macintosh automatically recognizes the PX-755UF (if the base
extensions are loaded), and you should be ready to use the drive as a
CD-ROM. To use the recording capabilities of the drive, a recording
application must be installed.
NOTE
: For optimum performance, if your Macintosh computer does not
have built-in USB 2.0, use the FireWire port. Or you can install a third-
party PCI USB 2.0 plug-in host adapter card.
NOTE: Plextor does not include Macintosh burning software.
