without a RED STATION BASE:

RED STATION REDMAG 1.8"

RED STATION REDMAG 1.8" (MINI)–ESATA

RED STATION REDMAG 1.8" (MINI)–USB 3.0

To offload media, follow the instructions below:

CONNECTOR

CABLE (INCLUDED WITH RED STATION)

NOTES

eSATA

eSATA Data Cable (24")

After connecting via eSATA, it may take up to 15

seconds for the media to display on the com-

puter.

FireWire 800

RED STATION FW800 Cable (2")

RED STATION FW800 Cable (24")

The computer supplies power to the RED

STATION via the FireWire 800 connection, so

it’s not necessary to use the RED STATION

AC POWER ADAPTOR. However, RED recom-

mends using the power adaptor for optimal

performance.

You can use the 2" FireWire 800 cables (in-

cluded with each RED STATION) to daisy-

chain the RED STATIONs. Then, use one (1)

FireWire 800 cable to connect one (1) RED

STATION to the computer. The computer then

recognizes each RED STATION through a sin-

gle FireWire connection.

Mini USB

USB-TO-MINI USB CABLE (24”)

If connecting to the computer using a different

Mini USB cable than provided, power the RED

STATION with the RED STATION AC POWER

ADAPTOR.

RED STATION USB 3.0 CABLE (24") If connecting to the computer using a different

Mini USB cable than provided, power the RED

STATION with the RED STATION AC POWER

ADAPTOR.

3. If using an eSATA connection, power the RED STATION with either of the following cables:

‒ RED STATION AC POWER ADAPTOR

‒ RED STATION USB TO DC POWER CABLE (24")

4. If offloading a REDMAG 1.8" SSD (48GB) or a REDMAG 1.8" SSD (512GB), power the RED STATION with a

RED STATION USB TO DC POWER CABLE (24"). Using an eSATA or USB connection alone may not power

the RED STATION.

5. Set the ON/OFF switch on the back of the RED STATION to ON.
6. Install the REDMAG 1.8" SSD in the media slot on the front panel of the RED STATION.
7. The computer recognizes the inserted SSD media and displays the SSD as a new drive.
