to the Thunderbolt 3 port on your computer.

will power on and begin to boot up. See “Power modes on the Pegasus3” on page 15 for
information on power up and shut down behavior.
You will notice the following:
• The Power Button LED is lit orange at first, then blue.
• The drive carrier Power / Status LEDs is lit blue.

power up as soon as the power is connected.
