Daisy-chaining the Drive

A daisy-chain is a grouping of devices linked one after another 

in series, starting from the computer (as shown in the illustration 

below). If your Drive is equipped with FireWire, you can daisy-

chain another FireWire device to it. See the next page for more 

information.
