Installing The Dvr Expander

What are the detailed steps needed to be taken to install my DVR Expander with the FIOS DVR system?  Do I use the USB connection or a 1394 connection.  Initially I just plugged in the power cord, then connected the USB cable. The light on the DVR expander went on but nothing else happened.
