AC Adapter
Disconnect the AC mains plug from the AC mains socket when not in use.
This apparatus must be earthed.
To ensure safe operation the three-pin plug must be inserted only into a standard three-pin
power point which is effectively earthed through the normal house-hold wiring.
Extension cords used with the equipment must be three-core and be correctly wired to provide
connection to earth. Wrongly wired extension cords are a major cause of fatalities.
The fact that the equipment operates satisfactorily does not imply that the power point is earthed
and that the installation is completely safe. For your safety, if in any doubt about the effective

Inserting a P2 Card
When inserting a P2 card into the slot in the P2
drive, make sure you keep the card horizontal as
you ease it in.
Forcing the card in on an angle may cause a
problem.
Write-protection of P2 Card
A P2 card has a write-protect switch. Setting this
switch to “PROTECT” can prevent writing and
deleting of data.
Note: The write-protect switch is not effective
when the P2 card is inserted in the P2 drive.
Make sure you remove the P2 card from the P2
drive, set the switch, then re-insert the card, in
order to effect the switch setting.
Installation
There are two ways to connect the P2 drive to a personal computer (Windows/Apple Macintosh) :
1. Using the P2 drive as an external drive connected to a personal computer (Windows/Apple
Macintosh)
2. Mounting the P2 drive in a 5-inch bay of a desktop personal computer (Windows)
PROTECT
Setting the write-
protect switch to
“PROTECT” can
prevent writing and
deleting of data.
Setting the write-
protect switch to
this side allows
writing and
deleting of data.

zBefore proceeding to
connect the unit which uses
a 6-pin type IEEE 1394
connector, carefully check
the shape of the
IEEE1394b cable and the
connectors on IEEE1394b
cable. Connecting a connector upside
down may damage the parts inside the
unit and cause malfunctioning.
zDo not apply force when connecting
IEEE1394b cable to IEEE1394b connector
as this may damage the connector.
6Verify that the personal computer recognises
the P2 drive.
<Notes>
zIn Windows XP, some card slots of the P2
drive may be assigned drive names that
have already been assigned to existing
networks. Reassign network drive names
if your personal computer does not display
all five card slots.
zIn Windows, to remove a USB cable or an
IEEE1394b cable, select “Safely Remove
Hardware” in the “Task Tray” and stop the
“Panasonic P2 Series USB/SBP2 Device”
