LaCie Hard Disk • Design by Neil Poulton User Manual 2.4. Connecting Multiple Devices The FireWire 400 interface allows you to connect another hard drive or digital video camera directly to the LaCie Hard Disk (this connection is called "daisy-chaining"). To daisy-chain devices, all devices must be connected via FireWire. Your computer will not recognize the daisy-chained device if the interfaces are mixed, (ex. a FireWire device attached to a drive that is connected to the computer via the Hi-Speed USB 2.0 interface. Technical note: When FireWire 400 and FireWire 800 interfaces are mixed in a daisy-chain, data transfers are limited to FireWire 400 speeds. 1. Connect your LaCie Hard Disk's power supply and host computer interface by following the steps in sections 2.1 and 2.2. 2. To attach a digital video camera*: a. Using the iLink/DV cable (sold separately), connect the 4-pin end of the cable to the 4-pin port on your digital camera. b. Connect the 6-pin end of the iLink/DV cable to the 6-pin FireWire port on the back of the LaCie Hard drive. To attach a FireWire peripheral: a. Connect the FireWire 400 cable into an available FireWire 400 port on your FireWire peripheral. b. Attach the other end of the FireWire 400 cable to an available FireWire 400 port on the LaCie Hard Disk . 3. The digital camera should now appear under My Computer (Windows users) or on the desktop (Mac users). *Some cameras do not support this configuration or may downgrade your LaCie Hard Disk's performance.
