Mount the PX-712UF Drive
This section explains how to physically connect the PX-712UF external
drive to your computer. In general, this is what you’ll do:
1. Determine what operating system your computer is running:
If your computer is running the Windows XP, 2000 or Me, or
the Macintosh operating system, you can install right away.
If you have Windows 98SE, and you are using the FireWire
(IEEE 1394) interface, you’ll need to go to the Microsoft
Windows web site to bring your system up to date.
If you have Windows 98SE, and you are using USB, you’ll need
to install a set of Plextor-provided drivers to bring your system
up to date.
2. Determine which interface you want to use: FireWire (IEEE 1394)
or USB.
3. Set the PX-712UF interface switch for IEEE 1394 or USB.
4. Connect the AC adapter to an electrical outlet and to the PX-712UF.
5. Turn the drive’s power switch ON (the “1” position).
6. Connect the USB or FireWire cable (corresponding to the setting of
the interface switch) from your PX-712UF drive to the computer.
That’s all there is to it! We’ll go over the procedure in more detail in the
next few pages.
If you have a PC, start here. If you have a Macintosh, go to “If You
Have a Macintosh” on page 23.
