Switching Between Usb And Ieee 1394 Interfaces; If You're Using Firewire - Plextor PX-708UF Installation And User Manual

Section 2. Installing Your PX-708UF External Drive
6. If the USB or IEEE 1394 controller is listed and does not have a
yellow diamond with an exclamation point, but the Plextor drive is
listed as a "USB" or "IEEE 1394 Storage device", select the
"Storage device" and then select the "Remove" button. Reboot your
system. The system will do another hardware scan and should install
the driver properly.
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-708UF.
To switch between interfaces attached to the PX-708UF:
1. Ensure the interface cable for the desired USB or IEEE 1394
interface is attached to the PX-708UF and to the computer.
2. At the rear of the PX-708UF, set the interface switch to the desired
interface.
3. Cycle the PX-708UF power. (That is, turn the PX-708UF'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:
• You can daisy-chain the PX-708UF with other FireWire devices. But
in this case, do not connect or disconnect devices from the chain
when the PX-708UF is operating.
• Also note that the PX-708UF's performance may not achieve its
maximum rated values if the drive is connected in a daisy chain with
other devices.
