Quick Guide #610019-1.02 Installing and Connecting the Hardware

Installing and Connecting the Hardware

1. Position the GT 205.

Place the unit on a flat, level surface, or install the unit into a rack

with the four supplied rack screws.

AUTION:

Speakers are magnetic devices; they can harm your data if they’re

too close to your hard drives or tape cartridges.

2. Connect the power cable (power off):

Make sure that the power is off on all of your computer equipment

and the GT 205.

Connect the power cable to the back of the GT 205. Plug the

three-prong plug into an appropriate power receptacle, preferably

with surge and spike protection.

3. Connect the 2-meter FireWire cable.

Plug one end of the FireWire cable into your computer’s FireWire

port, and the other into one of the two lower FireWire ports on

the GT 205 (it doesn’t matter which one). If the expansion bay in

the GT 205 holds a FireWire device, there will be two additional

FireWire ports above the lower connectors. Daisy-chain the lower

and upper ports together with the supplied .5-meter FireWire

cable.

4. If the device in the expansion bay is SCSI, connect a SCSI cable

from one of the ports on the GT 205 to a SCSI card in your

computer. (SCSI cable and card sold separately) Connect the

supplied terminator to the other open SCSI port on the GT 205.

5. Insert any GT Key cartridges into the unit.

Pull the handle on the cartridge out, then slide the cartridge into

the slot on the GT 205 and press the handle in well to secure the

cartridge firmly into place.
