Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the TEAC External USB 2.0/1.1 Hard Drive kit.

TEAC USB hard drives are external peripheral devices designed for use with IBM PC (or compatible) or Macintosh computers that feature a USB (Universal Serial Bus) port, version 2.0 or 1.1.

TEAC USB hard drives are compatible with USB 2.0 for high speed performance. The hard drives are also backward compatible with USB 1.1.

The USB hard drives are available in capacities ranging from 40GB to 500GB. The connection and installation procedure is the same for all configurations.

TEAC USB hard drives are hot-swappable and can achieve data transfer rates of up to 480Mbits/sec when operating in USB 2.0 mode. (See “Specifications” on page 13 for details.)

Minimum System Requirements

An available USB port (USB version 1.1 or 2.0)

To achieve high speed USB 2.0 performance, your computer must feature a built-in USB 2.0 port. Otherwise, you must install a third-party USB 2.0 PCI controller card (not included in this kit) in your computer.

If you plan to connect the USB hard drive to a USB 2.0 hub, use only a self- powered USB 2.0 hub.

CD-ROM drive (to install driver software for Windows 98SE only) or Inter- net access (to download driver software)

PC Compatible

IBM PC-compatible Pentium II 300MHz computer
