Getting Started

Connecting/Disconnecting the FirePort 1394

The first thing to do is attach the four bracket stands to the FST

drive caddy, one to each corner, as illustrated below:

These raise the FST drive off the table or desk slightly, which will

help keep air circulating around the drive and prevent overheating

during use. The bracket stands, or “feet,” also help the FST drive

not to slide around while you’re attaching it to/detaching it from

the FirePort 1394.

Important!

Be certain the power switch on the FirePort 1394 is set to OFF

before you perform any of the following steps.

First-time connections

Here’s what to do the first time you hook up the FirePort 1394:

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

OFF.

2. Connect the 6-pin connector of the power adapter into the

jack on the FirePort 1394 labeled Ext. +5V +12V DC-IN.

Then plug the other end of the power adapter into a properly

grounded and rated AC power supply socket.

3. Run a FireWire cable from the computer’s FireWire interface

card to either of the FireWire ports on the FirePort 1394.

4. Connect the FST drive to the FirePort 1394.

5. Turn the power switch on the FirePort 1394 to ON.

6. Install FST/Connect (the instructions are on page 20).

WARNING!

The power switch to the

FirePort 1394 must be

turned OFF before you

connect the FST drive or

any cables.
