INSERTING AND REMOVING
FIRESTORE FSHDD-1
FIREWIRE DRIVES
The best way to get to know the FireStore
FSHDD-1 FireWire HDD is by studying
the supplied manual. The manual provides
detailed instructions and illustrations.
INSERTING THE HDD: Insert the drive
into the slot on top of the FS-3 unit. Ensure that
the power switch on the bottom side of the
drive is set to “On” before inserting. The drive
will only insert one way and features a “key”
on one side to prevent incorrect insertion. Press
down on the drive handle firmly until the
handle meets the top of FS-3. If power is on,
you will observe the power LED light up green.
REMOVING THE HDD: Slide the HDD release
latch on the FS-3 top plate toward the battery
system. Once slid as far as possible, hold the latch
while at the same time grasping the FSHDD-1
drive handle and pulling the HDD out from FS-3.
WARNING: Make sure FS-3 is in STOP mode
before removing the disk drive from the system.
Do not attempt to remove when FS-3 is in REC
or REC-PAUSE mode.
USING EXTERNAL FIREWIRE
DISK DRIVES
In addition to using FireStore FSHDD-1
FireWire HDDs in the internal slot on FS-3, it
is also possible to connect any FireWire disk
drive to the HDD I/O port on FS-3. Power a
single FireWire disk drive on FS-3 at any
given time (either internal or external). If
external drives are being used as additional
volumes to the inserted FSHDD-1 FireWire
HDD, it will be necessary to provide external
power to these drives. It may also be necessary
to partition and format drives before use with
FS-3. See page 31 of this user guide for
instructions on preparing drives before use.
NOTE: It is possible to “hot swap” both
internal and external FireWire HDDs on FS-3.
Drives can be disconnected and connected from
the system without the need to power cycle the
unit. Ensure that FS-3 is in STOP mode before
removing a disk drive.
