Connections
Rear Panel: Connect the power supply (C) to a working wall outlet and con-
nect the other end to FireStore's POWER jack.
Connect FireStore's "TO HDD" 6-pin FireWire port to the 6-pin FireWire port
(A) on your FireWire hard disk drive. If using external power on your FireWire
hard disk drive, connect the unit's power supply (ensure it is switched off
before doing this).
Connect a DV (IEEE-1394) compatible device to FireStore's 4-pin "DV In/Out"
port (B). If you are connecting a camcorder and wish to record from tape,
select your camcorder to "VCR" or "VTR' mode. If you wish to record live
video, select you camcorder to "CAMERA" mode.
Note: On certain FireWire hard disk drives, it is possible to power the drive from
FireStore's FireWire port. It is only possible to power one FireWire hard disk drive
from FireStore's bus. See your disk drives documentation for more information.
