STEP 3: Press the Lock Handle flush with the chassis face to lock the drive in place.

To remove the drive, slide the Release Lever to the right. The Lock Handle disengages. Pull the drive toward you to remove it.

NOTE: This drive is not intended for hot-swap operation.

Using External Disk Drives

In addition to using a 3.5” IDE drive in the internal slot, you can also connect any FireWire disk drive to the HDD I/O port on the FS-2/2E. Power a single FireWire disk drive on the FS-2/2E at any given time.

If you are using more than one external FireWire drive, you must provide external power to them. It may also be necessary to partition and format the drives before their use with the

FS-2/2E. Refer to “Formatting the Drive” on page 1- 9 for instructions on preparing drives before use.

NOTE: You can “hot swap” connected external FireWire HDDs on the FS-2/2E. This means you can disconnect and connect drives from the system without the need to power cycle the unit. However, make sure the FS-2/2E is in STOP mode before removing a disk drive.
