Connecting and Disconnecting IEEE1394 Devices

Connecting Devices

Your IEEE1394 devices (including the CRW2200IX drive) are supposed to be connected/disconnected in an IEEE1394 daisy chain or tree connection while the host computer is turned on (Hot Swap).

Note

For more information about a IEEE1394 chain or tree connection, refer to page 28, 29.

Disconnecting Devices

When you attempt to disconnect an IEEE1394 device while the computer is turned on:

Computers running under Windows 98 Second Edition will crash. To solve this problem, refer to the “Update Information” document bundled with the product.

Computers running under Windows Me or Windows 2000 Professional allow for disconnection after you complete the “unplugging” procedure properly.

Macintosh computers may show an alert message and allow for disconnection after you properly close the CD writing software and unmount the CD volume from the desktop.

Note

For more information about disconnecting IEEE1394 devices while the computer is turned on, refer to the documentation that came with your operating system.
