DockPod to a USB

Hub

Important Notes:

• Each USB hub that you connect to your com-

puter decreases by one

the number of USB 2.0 RocketPod modules you can stack. For example: if you have one USB hub, you can stack up to four USB

2.0 RocketPod modules; if you have two USB hubs, you can stack up to three USB 2.0 RocketPod modules. USB hubs do not affect the number of FireWire RocketPod modules you can stack; however, the total number of modules is still five.

•If the USB hub only supports USB 1.x, all stacked-on USB 2.0 RocketPod modules will operate at USB 1.x speeds.

To connect the DockPod to a USB hub, connect the USB cable to the USB 2.0 port on the back of the DockPod and to an appropriate USB port on the hub, as shown in the illustration on page 30. Follow the USB hub manufacturer’s instructions for proper set-up and use of the hub.

Connecting your RocketPod Stack to a FireWire Daisy-Chain

When daisy-chaining a RocketPod stack, you connect the FireWire port on the DockPod to your computer or previous device in the chain. If the RocketPod stack is not last in the chain, you must also connect the right-hand FireWire port (when viewed from the back) of a stacked-on RocketPod module to the next device in the chain. For maximum performance, place this module first in the stack (closest to the DockPod).

For daisy-chaining FireWire devices from other manufacturers, check the manufacturers’ instructions, though typically it does not matter which FireWire port(s) you connect the FireWire cable(s) to.

Let’s consider a couple of options using the following illustrations as reference. (Any USB cables and power cords are not shown.)
