to the Disk Jockey via the Drive 1 and Drive 2 ribbon

and power cables (disk ports). The Disk Jockey is then

attached directly to your Macintosh or Windows computer

using either USB 2.0 or FireWire (IEEE 1394). The Disk

Jockey is also backward compatible with USB 1.1 although

data transfer speeds will be limited to USB 1.1 standards

(translation: slow). In Standard Mode the hard disk drives

are then available for use as standard disk storage attached

to your computer (the drives may still need to be erased,

quick formatted or partitioned depending on your operating

system).

NOTE - Once the drives are mounted they are treated

as standard external storage. For example, the drives, if

mounted as FireWire drives, can then be striped for an

additional speed increase using a Macintosh or Windows

striping software package that supports FireWire. It is not

necessary to format a target drive before copying, nor is

it necessary to erase a disk that previously contained data

before copying to the hard disk drive.

To setup drives using Standard Mode:

1. Verify that power is off to both the hard disk drives (you

don’t hear the drives spinning) and the Disk Jockey prior

to turning the mode select switch to zero.

2. Connect the “copy from” or “source” hard disk

drive to the port labeled Drive1, connect the “copy

to” hard disk drive, or the “target” disk to the Disk

Jockey port labeled “Drive 2.”
