your computer only has a FireWire 400 connector then you will need to
purchase a FireWire 800 to FireWire 400 cable.
Note: Windows based computers will not get optimal performance with the
standard Microsoft FireWire drivers. Visit our support knowledgebase at
www.drobo.com/support for details on how to optimize performance with
FireWire on Windows (search keywords "FireWire performance").

iSCSI

iSCSI uses a standard Ethernet cable to give you the best performance
possible with your DroboPro. We recommend directly connecting the
DroboPro's iSCSI connection to your computer if your computer has two
or more Ethernet ports. (If you don't have a second Ethernet port and
want to use iSCSI, then you will need to install a standard gigabit
Ethernet add-on card that is compatible with your computer.) One
Ethernet port should be used to connect your computer to your local
network and the other should be used to connect to DroboPro's iSCSI
port. Directly connecting will insure you achieve the best performance.
You can also connect your DroboPro via iSCSI through a switch, where
one port of the switch is connected to your computer and another port
is connected to the DroboPro's iSCSI connection. You will need to
manually set an IP address on the DroboPro (see Configurations on page
9). Depending on the amount of traffic using your switch, connecting it
in this manner might impact the performance.
