Notes:
- If your computer has a FireWire 400 port and you would like to use that interface,
then you will need to purchase a FireWire 800 to FireWire 400 cable.
- For information on the different cable interfaces available and their requirements,
see "Cable Interfaces Supported" on page 4.

Connecting to Your Computer

1. Plug one end of the USB, FireWire 800 or eSATA cable into the back of your Drobo/
Pro/S.
2. Plug the other end into your host computer.
Note: If you are using an eSATA cable with a Drobo S, we recommend that you
power down your computer before plugging the eSATA cable into it. (This is
because some eSATA cards do not handle hot plugging of eSATA drives well.) These
installation instructions will prompt you on when to turn your computer back on.
