003 Family Setup Guide10
To connect a FireWire hard drive, do one of the 
following:
 If your computer has more than one FireWire 
port, connect the FireWire hard drive to one 
FireWire port on the computer, and connect 
your 003 family interface to another FireWire 
port on the computer. 
– or –
 If your computer has only one FireWire port, 
connect the FireWire hard drive directly to your 
computer and then connect your 003 family in-
terface to an available FireWire port on the 
drive.
Connecting Other FireWire 
Devices to 003 Family Interfaces
The second FireWire port on your 003 family in-
terface is available for daisy-chaining FireWire 
devices such as digital cameras or digital video 
recorders. Even when it is powered off, 
003 family interfaces supply power from the 
computer through its FireWire ports, letting you 
recharge batteries in connected FireWire de-
vices.
Uninstalling Pro Tools
If you need to uninstall Pro Tools software from 
your computer, use the Uninstaller application. 
To uninstall Pro Tools from your computer:
1 Make sure you are logged in as an Administra-
tor for the account where Pro Tools is installed. 
2 Go to Applications/Digidesign/Pro Tools/
Pro Tools Utilities and double-click 
Uninstall Pro Tools.
3 Click Continue to proceed with the uninstall.
4 Choose the type of uninstall you want to per-
form:
Safe Uninstall Leaves certain plug-ins and sys-
tem files needed for compatibility with some 
Avid products. Use Safe Uninstall if you are using 
an Avid application or preparing to update to a 
.cs release.
Clean Uninstall Removes all Pro Tools files, in-
cluding system files, Digidesign plug-ins, and 
MIDI patch names. Use Clean Uninstall whenever 
you are preparing to upgrade, or to troubleshoot 
from a clean system.
5 Click Uninstall. 
6 Enter your Administrator password and click 
OK. 
7 Click Finish to close the Installer window.
Connecting your 003 family interface to your 
computer through a FireWire hard drive does 
not support maximum track count. To 
achieve the maximum track count, purchase 
a PCI/PCMCIA/ExpressCard to increase the 
number of FireWire ports on your computer. 
For information on supported PCI/PCM-
CIA/ExpressCard FireWire options, visit the 
Digidesign website (www.digidesign.com).
