Installing the drive
Some information about bus-powered operation and the supplied USB
cable:
■
Your drive is bus-powered. Therefore, there is no need to connect an
external power supply as all needed current will be supplied by the
connected USB port(s).
■
Passive USB hubs or USB connectors like keyboards, mice or similar
products cannot be used or connected to the drive.
■
Make sure that the connectors will be inserted correctly.
■
Never use pressure for connecting the cables. Check the polarity before
connecting!
