Setting up
Connecting the cables
Connect the external hard disk to your computer using a free USB 3.0 port.
You will also be able to connect the device to computers through a 1.1 USB or a 2.0 USB
port. However, the transfer speed will then be significantly lower.
Information
Operation with 3.0 USB port is only possible with the USB cable with 3.0 USB
specifications supplied with the device. Although the use of a 2.0 USB cable is
possible it will not, however, offer the speed advantage of the 3.0 USB standard.

the rounded DIN end of the power adaptor into the corresponding socket in the hard
disk.

Information
You will be able to use the hard drive directly through the data haven, without a
cable connection, if you own a MEDION PC equipped with the data haven 3.
Data havens of the older generation are not compatible. A direct connection,
without a USB cable, will not be possible for this reason.
