| Connecting a Fusion D400Q or Fusion R400Q to computer system with USB or FireWire requires a hard drive in drive bay 1. | May-06-09 |
| The Fusion D400Q and R400Q must have a hard drive in drive bay 1 when connected via USB, FireWire, or FireWire 800. This requirement is due to the Oxford bridge chip that controls USB and FireWire connectons. Drive bay 1 is the top bay in the Fusion D400Q and the left bay in the Fusion R400Q. As long as there is a drive in drive bay 1, bays 2-4 are unconstrained.
Note: This requirement does not apply to a direct SATA connection, which has no drive bay population requirements. |
