003 & 003 Rack Getting Started Guide60
Connecting 003 or 003 Rack and FireWire Hard
Drives
The FireWire ports on 003 and 003 Rack do not
pass audio data when they are powered off. If
you daisy-chain FireWire devices from your
computer, it is best to connect FireWire hard
drives directly to your computer and not to 003
or 003 Rack. This will prevent hard drive errors
and data loss in case the 003 or 003 Rack unit 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 or
003 Rack 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 require AC power and cannot
be powered by the FireWire bus.
