possible, hold the latch while at the same
time grasping the FSHDD-1 drive handle and
pulling the HDD out from DR-DV5000.
USING EXTERNAL FIREWIREDISKDRIVES
In addition to using FireStore FSHDD-1
FireWire HDDs in the internal slot on DR-
DV5000, it is also possible to connect any
FireWire disk drive to the HDD I/O port on
DR-DV5000. Power a single FireWire disk
drive on DR-DV5000 at any given time (either
internal or external). If external drives are
being used as additional volumes to the
inserted FSHDD-1 FireWire HDD, it will be
necessary to provide external power to these
drives. It may also be necessary to partition
and format drives before use with DR-
DV5000. See page 32of this user guide for
instructions on preparing drives before use.
NOTE: It is possible to "hot swap" both
internal and external FireWire HDDs on
DR-DV5000. Drives can be disconnected and
connected from the system without the need to
power cycle the unit. Ensure that DR-DV5000
is in STOP mode before removing a disk drive.
