Hardware setup

For a dual-interface kit:
1. Plug the AC-power adaptor into the hard drive and
the wall outlet.
2. Refer to the table opposite to select the fastest
interface that is supported by your computer,
and use that cable to connect the drive to your
computer. USB and IEEE 1394a (FireWire)
connectors have unique shapes, and each
connector is shaped to allow only one way
to connect.
USB
Caution. Use only one interface at a time. If you connect both
the USB and the IEEE 1394a (FireWire) cables to the same
external drive at the same time, you could damage the drive.
However, it is OK to connect two IEEE 1394a (FireWire) cables
to the same drive at the same time to daisy-chain devices.
