Main Index .: Legacy Saffire Range .: Saffire .: LEDs .: The LEDs on my Saffire flash when the unit is connected to my MacBook Pro. Why?

The LEDs on my Saffire flash when the unit is connected to my MacBook Pro. Why?

Some of the older MacBook Pros have a lower power spec for the firewire bus. This means that the Saffire will require its power supply to boot successfully - the lights on the unit will continuosly flash if not provided with appropriate power by the firewire bus.
