Connection of Cables

Your first step is to take the power cable and insert it into the back of the

disk drive (see figure 2.2). It won't go in if you try to put in in upside down.

Once it's in the drive, plug the other end into the electrical outlet. if the disk

drive makes any sound at this time, please turn it off using the switch on the

back! Don't plug any other cables into the disk drive if the power is on.

Next. take the serial bus cable and attach it to either one of the serial bus

sockets in the rear of the drive. Turn off the computer, and plug the other end

of the cable into the back of the computer. That's all there is to it!

If you have a printer, or any additional disk drives, attach the cables into

the second serial bus port (see figure 2.3). For directions on using multiple drives

at one time, read chapter 8. If you are a first-time user with more than one drive,

start working with only one drive until you're comfortable with the unit.

Powering On

When you have all the devices hooked together, it's time to start turning

on the power. It is important that you turn on the devices in the correct order.

The computer should always be turned on last. As long as the computer is the

last one to be turned on, everything will be OK.
