003 Family Setup Guide64
Connecting 003 or 003 Rack and FireWire Hard
Drives
The FireWire ports on 003 and 003 Rack do not
pass data when they are powered off. If you
daisy-chain FireWire devices from your com-
puter, it is best to connect FireWire hard drives
directly to your computer and not to the
003 family device. This will prevent hard drive
errors and data loss in case the 003 family device
is powered off.
Connecting Other FireWire Devices to 003 or
003 Rack
The second FireWire port on 003 or 003 Rack is
available for daisy-chaining FireWire devices
such as digital cameras or digital video record-
ers. Even when it is powered off, 003 and
003 Rack supply power from the computer
through their FireWire ports, letting you re-
charge batteries in other FireWire devices.
Link Indicator
The Link indicator lights when a valid FireWire
connection is established (between the 003 fam-
ily device and a computer).
Power Switch
(003 Back Panel Only)
The Power switch for 003 is located on its back
panel.
The Power switch for the 003 Rack is located on
its front panel.
AC Power Connector
The AC power connectors on 003 and 003 Rack
accept a standard modular AC power cable.
003 and 003 Rack are auto power-selecting
(100V to 240V) and will work automatically
when plugged into an AC power receptacle in
any country.
Connecting 003 to a FireWire port of an ex-
ternal drive that is connected to a computer
does not support maximum track count. For
information on supported PCI/PCM-
CIA/ExpressCard FireWire options, visit the
Digidesign website (www.digidesign.com).
003 and 003 Rack require AC power and
cannot be powered by the FireWire bus.
