General Information  
Precautionary measures  
EN  
To ensure that your Freecom Network Drive XS functions properly, please take note of  
the following precautions. If these are not followed, you may void your warranty and  
damage the Freecom Network Drive XS.  
Safely remove the Freecom Network Drive XS via your operating system (the "unplug  
or eject hardware" option in the Windows taskbar) before disconnecting the USB  
cable or power cable and before switching off the device. Failing to do so may result  
in data loss.  
Do not drop the Freecom Network Drive XS or expose it to other kinds of sudden  
mechanical shocks as this may result in data loss and damage to the Network  
Drive.  
Do not use the Freecom Network Drive XS when the ambient temperature is below  
10°C or above 30°C.  
If the Freecom Network Drive XS is moved from a cool environment to a warmer  
environment, please allow the drive to acclimatize to the ambient temperature  
before operating the device. Failing to do so may lead to condensation within the  
drive enclosure, which in turn may cause the drive to malfunction.  
Do not place liquids or drinks on the Freecom Network Drive XS. When liquids are  
spilled and get in contact with the electronics within the drive enclosure, it will  
damage the drive and will cause the drive to malfunction.  
Do not use the Freecom Network Drive XS in a dusty environment. Dust inside the  
enclosure may damage the internal electronics and result in drive malfunction.  
Opening the Freecom Network Drive XS will void the warranty.  
Since USB 2.0 is backwards compatible with USB 1.1, the Freecom Network Drive XS  
can be connected to all USB ports. When connected to a USB 1.1 port, however, the  
performance (data transfer rate) of the Freecom Network Drive XS will be much lower  
than when the drive is connected to a USB 2.0 port.  
Only use the power adapter that was supplied with the Freecom Network Drive XS.

WARNING! Only connect the Network Drive XS via the USB or LAN Port.  
Never use both ports at the same time!  
1. Plug the cable (USB or LAN) into the Freecom Network  
Drive XS.  
2. Insert the power cord into the Freecom Network Drive XS  
and plug the power supply into the socket.  
3. Plug the cable into the port (USB or LAN) on your

significantly higher data transfer speeds than USB 1.1.  
Driver Installation: Your computer will not require a special Freecom  
driver if you are using Windows XP / Vista / 7 or MacOS X. The required  
driver is automatically installed by the operating system when the cable  
is plugged into your computer.

6.1 Direct connection to a PC  
Once the PC/Mac is setup as DHCP client as described in the chapter "Check TCP/IP  
Settings on PC/Mac" the user has to configure SMB Server and/or the FTP Server to work  
with the device via network connection.  
We recommend using the USB connection when connecting the Freecom Network Drive  
XS to a single PC as the USB connection offers faster data transfer rates and easier access  
to the Freecom Network Drive XS.
