How do I connect the drive to my server?
For optimum performance the drive should be connected to a USB 2.0 port and it should be the only
device on the USB bus. Although the drive will function on USB 1.1, performance will be severely
degraded. See also “USB Configuration Guide” on page 35. Appropriate USB cables are supplied
with your RDX Removable Disk Backup System.
