Switching Between Usb And Ieee 1394 Interfaces; If You're Using Firewire - Plextor PX-755UF Installation And User Manual

Section 2. Installing the PX-755UF External USB/FireWire Drive
Switching Between USB and IEEE 1394
Interfaces
You can connect any or all of the interface cables (USB, IEEE 1394
4-pin, and IEEE 1394 6-pin) and switch between them. You can even
have different cables attached at the same time, allowing more than one
computer to share the PX-755UF.
To switch between interfaces attached to the PX-755UF:
1. Ensure an interface cable for the desired USB or IEEE 1394
interface is attached to the PX-755UF and to the computer.
2. At the rear of the PX-755UF, set the interface switch to the desired
interface.
3. Cycle the PX-755UF power. (That is, turn the PX-755UF's power
switch off, then on again.)

If You're Using FireWire

If you are using FireWire (IEEE 1394), remember these hints for better
operation:
• Do not daisy-chain the PX-755UF; that is, do not connect it to the
same cable along with other FireWire devices.
• The PX-755UF is not bus powered—that is, it doesn't get its power
from the IEEE 1394 cable—so you have to use the bundled AC
adapter.
