Getting to Know the Instant GigaDrive
Rear Panel
(picture for model EFG20 only)
All of the GigaDrive’s connectors and switches are on the rear panel, as seen
below.
Power Switch The Power switch is a spring-loaded soft switch
which powers the GigaDrive on and off. If the
GigaDrive is not powered on, pressing the power
switch will initiate the GigaDrive’s start-up
process. Pressing the Power switch while the
GigaDrive is turned on will begin the GigaDrive’s
internal shut-down process. The Instant GigaDrive
must be powered off this way, or through its inter-
nal shutdown process.
Power Input The Power Input port is where the power adapter
plugs in. Never remove or cut off the power sup-
ply while the Instant Gigadrive is turned on.
Printer Port You can also add a printer to your network through
the Instant GigaDrive’s Printer port.
