Connecting and Disconnecting IEEE1394 Devices

Connecting Devices

Your IEEE1394 devices (including the CRW8824IX drive) are supposed to be connected to an IEEE1394 chain or tree connection even while the host computer is turned on (hot plug).

nFor more information about a IEEE1394 chain or tree connection, refer to page 14.

Disconnecting Devices

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

●Computers running under Windows 98 Second Edition will freeze.

●Computers running under Windows 2000 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.

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