003 & 003 Rack Getting Started Guide22
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 003
or 003 Rack 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 003 or 003 Rack to
an available FireWire port on the drive.
Connecting Other FireWire
Devices to 003 or 003 Rack
The second FireWire port on 003 or 003 Rack is
available for daisy-chaining FireWire devices
such as digital cameras or digital video record-
ers. Even when it is powered off, 003 and
003 Rack supply power from the computer
through its FireWire ports, letting you recharge
batteries in connected FireWire devices.
Removing Pro Tools
If you need to remove Pro Tools software from
your computer, use the Uninstaller application.
To remove Pro Tools from your computer:

tor for the account where Pro Tools is installed.
2 Go to Applications/Digidesign/Pro Tools/

“Uninstall Pro Tools” file.
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 us-
ing 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 when-
ever you are preparing to upgrade, or to trouble-
shoot from a clean system.
5 Click Uninstall.

OK.
