Most problems occur due to driver problems on the Host Card side!

If you buy a spare power adapter for your working place or at home, make sure the output and polarity is identical with the power adapter supplied!

Chapter 3 System Set Up

Connection to your Computer

A few tips on how to connect your external storage enclosure:

Make sure your PCI Host Card is installed correctly

Double check that the Host Card driver is up to date

If required, update your Operating System or BIOS

Only one interface at the time can be used

Only one computer at the time can access the drive

To use one drive on several computers, it can be shared through one computer on the network (1394 network, company network)

Firewire can be daisy chained

All devices in a daisy chain have to be switched on to permit the hub/daisy chain function

Do not cover the Enclosure and leave enough room around it for the drive to cool down

Do not expose the product to water or humid conditions

If possible, arrange the cables so they do not cross each other

Always check for visible damage and defects of power and interface cables before using it

We recommend using the cables and adapter supplied with your product
