Connecting the BW-RU101
Connect the unit to the host computer through a USB cable. You can use a USB 
Hub to connect up to 127 USB devices. Because BW-RU101 supports hot-plug, 
you can plug in, use, and unplug BW-RU101 without having to shut down the 
host computer.
Note
Before connecting the unit, make sure that it is off.
1
Connect the USB cable to the USB connector of the unit. 
2

USB Cables
To achieve high transfer rate and stable operations, the length of the USB cables 
should not exceed 5m.
Even though BW-RU101 is a hot-plug device, data may be lost when unplug the 
USB cable, so confirm the following items before unplug the USB cable.
• Data saved to the disc is not accessed from an application or software.
• The BUSY indicator is off or lit green.
• The disc has been ejected. (Turning the unit off after ejecting the disc is 
recommended.)
