Chapter 1: Hardware Installation

WARNING! Only connect the Network Drive XS via the USB or LAN Port. Never use both ports at the same time!

1.Plug the cable (USB or LAN) into the Freecom Network Drive XS.

2.Insert the power cord into the Freecom Network Drive XS and plug the power supply into the socket.

3.Plug the cable into the port (USB or LAN) on your computer.

Because USB 2.0 is backwards compatible with USB 1.1, you can connect the Freecom Network Drive XS to any USB port. Please note however that USB 2.0 ports support significantly higher data transfer speeds than USB 1.1.

Driver Installation: Your computer will not require a special Freecom driver if you are using Windows XP / Vista / 7 or MacOS X. The required driver is automatically installed by the operating system when the cable is plugged into your computer.
