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 compatible 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!
