1. General
The external HDD follows interface(SBP-2 Controller) of IEEE1394 standard to allow general IDE HDD
to be used as External HDD. There are BX1 which is 1 Bay type for office purpose, BX4 with 4 bay,
and the Bay Module is compatible in each model.
A. Features.
1) Maximum of 400Mbps of high speed Data transmission (Bandwidth)
The interface is faster than 320Mps of UltraWide SCSI, and it maintains the same transmission rate
as the internal HDD.
2) Supports Hot Swap
Since the interface of Bay Module follows IEEE1394I/F standard, which supports Hot Swap, the
HDD can be taken out without turning the power off.
3) Power related safety device (patent pending)
There is internal Power Control device along with the Safety Key to minimize the damage to the
HDD Data in case of misuse.
4) Supports Plug & Play
IEEE1394 I/F standard supports Plug & Play which is equivalent to USB standard. Therefore
additional setting is unnecessary. All that needs to be done is connect the device to the PC, and the
PC will automatically detect the MOMOBay and indicate the new drive.
5) OS compatibility
It operates in Windows 98SE, Windows ME, Windows 2000(except for Windows NT) and MAC OS
above 8.5.
6) Simple Bay structure for easy HDD exchange
The Bay Module can be easily exchanged, since the bay is fixed and the bay module is detachable.
Also the bay module is designed to exchange HDD in One touch system.
B. Attention!
The file system between Windows and MAC is not compatible. If you connect HDD operating under
Windows system to MAC system, the data can be erased.

C. Caution
1) Water and alien device can set the fire.
2) Use selected adapter for MOMOBay BX1 and do not mix it with other company's adapter.
3) Since the HDD is very fragile, severe shock can cause damages.
