DroboPro/DroboElite. The top silver colored plate of the drive should be
facing to the right. Open the Drive Lock by pressing it down and slide
the drive into the Data Bay until you feel the connector “mate” at the
rear of the unit. If the connectors seat properly, the Drive Lock will snap
behind the drive, securing it into place.
Warning! Do not place your DroboPro or DroboElite on its side during normal
operation.
There is a chance the drives will disconnect if you do this. For
optimal performance and protection of your data we recommend that
DroboPro/DroboElite remain in its normal horizontal position.
Connect DroboPro to your computer
There are several ways to connect DroboPro to your computer. You
should select the fastest connection you have available. Please note
that only one connection type can be used at any given time. The
connections, listed slowest to fastest, are USB 2.0, FireWire 800 and
iSCSI.
USB 2.0
DroboPro gives you the option to use USB 2.0 to connect to your
computer. While not as fast as FireWire 800 or iSCSI, it is found on every
computer made in the past few years.
FireWire 800
FireWire 800 will give you excellent performance with your DroboPro. If
your computer does not have a FireWire 800 port, then please contact
your computer manufacturer for a compatible add-on card. (Make sure
that you select a card that fully supports your computer and operating
system since not all FireWire cards provide optimal performance.) If
