2. Connect the Instant GigaDrive to your hub, switch, or PC. If you plan to
connect the GigaDrive to the network through a hub or switch, be sure that
the uplink button on the rear panel of the GigaDrive is depressed, then plug
the other end of the RJ45 cable into one of the ports on your hub or switch.
If you want to connect the GigaDrive directly to a PC, make sure that the
uplink button is in the up position, and connect the RJ45 cable directly into
the PC’s network card.
3. Connect a printer to the Instant GigaDrive. Connect a standard printer
cable to the GigaDrive’s rear-panel printer port. Connect the other end of
the cable to your printer.
4. Connect the power supply. Plug the supplied power adapter into the
GigaDrive’s power input port, located on the GigaDrive’s rear panel. Con-
nect the other end of the power adapter to a power outlet.
5. Power on. Locate the GigaDrive’s power switch on the upper left of the
GigaDrive’s rear panel. Press it once to power on the GigaDrive.
6. The GigaDrive’s self-test. Now that its power is on, the GigaDrive’s boot
process will begin. The GigaDrive will run a brief self-test (2 or 3 seconds)
prior to actually booting up. During the self-test, all of the GigaDrive’s
LEDs will be illuminated or fl ashing.
7. Booting up. When the self-test is complete, most of the LEDs will turn
off. The System LED will blink continuously, and the LAN LED will blink
occassionally. This signifi es that the GigaDrive is in the actual process
of booting up. Boot up should take approximately 1-3 minutes. It will
take longer on the fi rst bootup, and on any bootup following an improper
shutdown.
8. Boot up completed. When most of the LEDs turn off, leaving only the
System LED illuminated (and not blinking), the GigaDrive’s boot up is
complete. If the Status LED stays on, or if the GigaDrive repeatedly beeps,
there is a hardware problem. Consult this user guide’s Troubleshooting
section (page 29) or Appendix entry on the GigaDrive’s buzzer (page 32)
for possible solutions.
