Before you connect
Disable the File Exchange control panel:
• From the Apple menu, select Control Panels
•The Control Panels folder will open.
• Double-click the Extensions Manager icon.
The Extensions Manager panel will open.
• From the list that appears, uncheck the check box next to the
File Exchange control panel by clicking on it.
•Click Restart.
After your Macintosh restarts, proceed to the next step.
To connect the FireWire Cable
1. Plug one end of the FireWire cable into any available FireWire
port on your computer or any other FireWire device that is
connected to your computer.
2. Plug the other end of the FireWire cable into either of the
available FireWire ports on the back of the drive.
