Connecting the LaCie Mini Drive

• Connect the power cord to the AC Power Adapter and plug into a wall outlet.
• Connect the other end to the power plug on the drive. The plug is keyed so the flat side of the power cord faces the arrow.
• Verify that the green LED on the AC Power Adapter is lit. If not, verify the connection of the power cord to the adapter.
• Turn the drive on by using the power button.

Connecting the Drive to the Computer

• Both ends of the 6-pin FireWire 400 cable are identical. Plug one end into the FireWire 400 port of the drive and the other end into the FireWire 400 port of the computer. Be sure that you insert the cable with the proper orientation. Inserting it incorrectly may damage the drive or computer.

• FireWire 400 devices can be connected via a FireWire 800 port. However, they will operate at FireWire 400 speeds. This will require a 6-pin to 9-pin cable. Do not place the FireWire 400 device between the computer and any FireWire 800 devices. They must be at the end of the FireWire 800 bus.

• Some computers may have a 4-pin FireWire 400 port. While this port may only support connecting cameras, some do support mass storage devices. If your 4-pin port supports mass storage devices you can connect a FireWire drive. It will require a 6-pin to 4-pin cable. Refer to your computer manual if you are unsure if your 4-pin port supports mass storage devices.
