Connecting An External Sata Hard Disk (Esata) - Fujitsu AMILO Operating Manual

Connecting an external SATA hard disk (eSATA)

An external SATA hard disk can be connected at the eSATA/USB combination port. This allows you to
expand the internal hard disk capacity as you wish. You should obtain a hard disk with a robust casing.
The cable is not included in the delivery scope. It can be obtained through your
retailer. The length of the eSATA cable must not exceed 2 metres. Simple SATA
cables are designed for installation in devices and cannot be used due to the
differences in pin allocation. Please consult a specialist retailer for advice.
The data transfer rate is up to 2,400 Mbit/s.
Device driver
The eSATA hard disk is automatically recognised by your operating system and installed.
You will find more information in the documentation for the external SATA
hard disk and the operating system.
