Note: If you are using a USB 1.1 port on your Windows computer, the
following cautionary note may appear on your display: Hi-Speed USB
Device plugged into non-Hi-Speed USB hub. This does not indicate a
problem because FireLite XPress is compatible with both USB 1.1 and
USB 2.0 ports. Simply close the message and proceed. However, in this
case FireLite XPress will operate only at USB 1.1 speeds.
Storing and Transferring Data via USB
Once your drive is connected to a computer via USB, it can be accessed and used like
any other removable disk. You can drag files to your unit’s icon to copy them, navigate
to your unit in Open or Save dialog boxes, or delete files stored on your unit. For
information on copying, opening, or deleting files, consult your computer’s
documentation.
Disconnecting FireLite XPress from a PC or Mac Host
Your FireLite XPress is hot-swappable; it can be connected and disconnected without
restarting your computer. To disconnect your drive at any time, perform the following
steps. You can also disconnect your hard drive at any time while your computer is
powered off.
Note: Please be careful to follow the correct procedure when
disconnecting your unit. Your FireLite XPress display will update its disk
information during the disconnection procedure. Simply unplugging the
unit without first following the instructions below will cause the display to
