How to turn off and disconnect the
Drive with the computer turned off
(PC and Mac)
When you shut down your computer the Drive dismounts
automatically. With the computer turned off, simply turn off
the Drive. You may then unplug the power cord and data
cable if you want to disconnect the drive.
Connecting the Drive
to Your Computer
1. Plug the AC adapter cord into the power port on the
back of the Drive. The plug should not require much effort
to insert. If the plug will not go in, do not force it; the plug
is probably upside down. Rotate the plug and try again.
Incorrectly inserting the plug could damage the Drive and
void the warranty.
2. Plug the power cord into the cord socket in the AC
adapter. Plug the other end into a three-prong outlet.
3. Plug in the FireWire or the USB 2.0 data cables.
Connect the USB 2.0 connector of the included USB cable
to a free USB 2.0 port on your computer.
FireWire plugs are shaped so they can only be properly
inserted one way. Be sure to insert the plugs properly or
you may damage the Drive and void the warranty.
The Fantom Drives Titanium Combo Hard Disk has two
FireWire ports for connecting additional FireWire device in
a daisy chain. You can use any port to connect the Drive
to your computer..
4. Press the power switch located on the back of the Fantom
Drives Titanium Hard Disk. Once the Drive is powered up,
your computer should recognize it and the Drive will be ready
to use.
