the included AC Power Adapter be used.

to the Uplink Port, and then to
your computer's USB port.
2. Connect the AC Power Adapter to
the USB Hub.
4. Connect the included IEEE 1394
FireWire Cable to the TFU-430,
and then to your computer's IEEE
1394 FireWire port.

Your installation is now complete.

Where is the Driver CD-Rom for the TFU-430?
The TFU-430 does not require unique drivers for Windows XP/2000/ME; it
uses preinstalled FireWire drivers provided by your operating system. You must
have properly installed USB and/or FireWire ports on your computer.
Can I connect or disconnect the USB cable while the computer is on?
Yes, you can connect or disconnect the USB cable, or any external USB
device while the computer is on because the USB interface is Plug-and-Play and
hot-pluggable.
My computer has a FireWire (IEEE 1394) interface but the FireWire port
doesn't seem to work. What should I do?
You must have the FireWire Host Controller installed properly for you
computer's FireWire port to work. For more information regarding FireWire Host
Controller installation, please refer to you computer's User Manual.
My computer has a USB interface but the USB port doesn't seem to work.
What should I do?
Check that your computer's BIOS settings have USB enabled. For more
information regarding BIOS settings, please refer to your computer's User Manual.
