HyperWire Interface

HyperWire cables can be safely connected to or disconnected from a HyperWire port while the PC and/or drive is powered on. However, any changes to the HyperWire network topology will disrupt communication and you must reset the controller to re-establish communication.

WARNING: Do not connect or disconnect HyperWire cables while you are loading firmware or damage to the drives may occur.
