4.1.2. Disconnecting FireWire Devices

FireWire external devices feature "plug & play" connection. This means that your drive can be connected and disconnected

while the computer is running. To prevent failures, it is important you follow these steps when disconnecting your FireWire

device.

Windows Users

Important Note: Windows 98 SE Users: If you have installed the Windows Storage Supplement Update, you will

have to unmount the drive before disconnecting it or powering it down. If you have not installed the update, simply

disconnect the drive when it is not active. No unmounting is required.

1) From the System Tray (located in the lower right-hand side of your screen), click on the Eject icon

(a small green arrow over a hardware image).

2) A message will appear, detailing the devices that the Eject icon controls, i.e. "Safely remove…" Click on this prompt.

3) You will then be given the following message: "Safe to Remove Hardware" (or similar). It is now safe to disconnect the

device.

Mac Users

You must unmount the drive before disconnecting it or powering it down. Drag the disc icon

to the Trash. Once the device’s icon no longer appears on the desktop, the drive can be

disconnected.
