Operations

Routine connections

Once you have everything working, these are the steps to observe

when connecting an FST drive to the FirePort 1394:

1. Make sure the power switch on the FirePort 1394 is set to

OFF.

2. Connect the FST drive to the FirePort 1394.

3. Turn the FirePort 1394’s power switch to ON.

4. Start FST/Connect. (If you were swapping FST drives, this

step is not necessary because FST/Connect can be left active

while you do so.)

Disconnecting an FST drive

When you want to spin the FST drive down and take it back over

to an HD24, or if you would like to connect another FST drive

with the FirePort 1394, follow these steps:

1. Use the Add/Remove Hardware utility in the Control Panel

and go through the procedures to unplug a device. At the

final step of this process, check the box that says “Show

Unplug/Eject icon on the taskbar.” You will only have to do

this step the first time you disconnect the FST drive.

2. If you’ve already gone through step 1 above in previous

disconnections, move your cursor to the lower right-hand

portion of your monitor (the taskbar) and look for the

following symbol:

3. Click on this icon and watch for a prompt to arrive on the

screen that looks like this:

4. Click on that prompt, and a message will be displayed on the

screen that tells you that the FST drive may be “safely

removed from the system.” This means it’s okay to turn off

the power to the FirePort 1394.

5. After the power has been turned off you may disconnect the

FST drive from the FirePort 1394.

You don’t have to shut down

ST/Connect when swapping

hard drives. Therefore, if

ST/Connect is already

running when you want to

disconnect, simply follow the

disconnect procedure and

leave FST/Connect active.
