To connect the DockPod to a USB hub, connect the USB cable to the

USB 2.0 port on the back of the DockPod and to an appropriate USB

port on the hub, as shown in the illustration on page 30. Follow the USB

hub manufacturer’s instructions for proper set-up and use of the hub.

Connecting your RocketPod Stack

to a FireWire Daisy-Chain

When daisy-chaining a RocketPod stack, you connect the FireWire

port on the DockPod to your computer or previous device in the

chain. If the RocketPod stack is not last in the chain, you must also

connect the right-hand FireWire port (when viewed from the back)

of a stacked-on RocketPod module to the next device in the chain. For

maximum performance, place this module first in the stack (closest

to the DockPod).

For daisy-chaining FireWire devices from other manufacturers, check

the manufacturers’ instructions, though typically it does not matter

which FireWire port(s) you connect the FireWire cable(s) to.

Let’s consider a couple of options using the following illustrations as

reference. (Any USB cables and power cords are not shown.)
