RocketPod modules rather than five. However, you can stack on two FireWire RocketPod modules, for a total of five modules.

Q:Do I need to turn my RocketPod modules on when I stack them?

A:No. If your DockPod is turned on, stacked-on RocketPod modules will power on automatically. If the DockPod is turned off, any stacked- on modules will power on when you turn on the DockPod.

Q:Do I need to turn my RocketPod modules off before I remove them from a stack?

A:No. Anyway, in most cases you simply can’t because the power is controlled from the DockPod. If you want to remove a RocketPod module from a stack, you only need to dismount the device before removing it. After the device is dismounted, it will still be powered on but it is perfectly safe to remove it. If the module you wish to remove has one or more modules stacked above it, you must dismount and remove these modules first.

Q:Can I select which RocketPod modules in a stack to turn on and which to turn off?

A:No. Power to stacked-on modules is controlled via the DockPod. When you turn on the DockPod, all stacked-on modules will power on. If you turn off the DockPod, all stacked-on modules will power off.

Before you turn off the DockPod, be sure to dismount all modules.

Q:Do I need to use both the USB 2.0 and FireWire interfaces of my DockPod in order for it to work?

A:No, you can use only one interface if you so choose. DockPod comes with both interfaces to accommodate both USB 2.0 users and FireWire users.

Q:Can I connect DockPod to a USB or FireWire expansion card?

A:Yes.

Q:Can I connect my DockPod to more than one computer at the same time?

A:Yes, actually you can. It is possible to connect the USB 2.0 inter- face to one computer and the FireWire interface to another comput- er. Any USB 2.0 RocketPod modules in your stack will be recognized by one computer and only that computer; the FireWire modules in the same stack will be recognized by the other computer and only that other computer. You cannot use a RocketPod module on two computers simultaneously. (The up-coming NASPod will allow you to make your DrivePod(s) accessible to multiple users over an Ethernet network.) If you connect the DockPod to a computer or hub that only supports USB 1.x, any stacked on USB 2.0 RocketPod modules will
