A few tips on how to connect your external storage enclosure:
•
Make sure your PCI Host Card is installed correctly
•
Double check that the Host Card driver is up to date
•
To enable auto mount for Serial ATA, your host card driver needs eSATA 1.5Gbps Plug and Play support
•
If required, update your Operating System or BIOS
•
Only one interface at the time can be used
•
Only one computer at the time can access the drive
•
To use one drive on several computers, it can be shared through one computer on the network (1394 network,
company network)
•
Firewire can be daisy chained
•
All devices in a daisy chain have to be switched on to permit the hub/daisy chain function
•
Do not cover the Enclosure and leave enough room around it for the drive to cool down
•
Do not expose the product to water or humid conditions
•
If possible, arrange the cables so they do not cross each other
•
Always check for visible damage and defects of power and interface cables before using it
•
We recommend using the cables and adapter supplied with your product
eSATA 1.5Gbps Plug and Play support required for host card driver.
If you buy a spare power adapter for your working place or at home, make sure the output and polarity is identical
with the power adapter supplied!
Make sure not to insert the Firewire 6-pin connector the wrong way around, or you will damage the device!
