Connecting the External Drive

! To prevent data loss, do not plug in or disconnect additional FireWire devices while any

FireWire device is in use.

! For best performance, unused FireWire ports should be left empty. There are no

terminators for FireWire connections.

! Before connecting a Desktop drive, always turn on the drive’s power switch.

Disconnecting the Backup Drive

Backup Do’s and Don’ts

! Do not disconnect your backup drive while it is backing up your files—data loss and

corruption will result!

! You can connect or disconnect your backup drive while the computer is on.

To disconnect your External Hard Drive, select its icon on the Mac OS Desktop and drag it

to the Trash icon (or choose Eject from the File menu to unmount the drive). After the

FireWire or USB backup drive’s icon disappears, you can turn it off and/or disconnect it.
