Connecting with the USB Cable
If you have a OneTouch drive with both USB and FireWire
interfaces, do not plug a USB cable into the drive when a
FireWire cable is already connected to the drive. The
OneTouch drive will only operate with one interface at
a time.
The Maxtor OneTouch button, Power management, and
OneTouch Settings utility program are not supported for USB
on the Macintosh. You may, however, use your drive as
external storage and utilize the Retrospect software to
maintain backup copies of your files and complete system.
To connect the USB cable
1. Plug the larger end of the USB cable into any available
USB port on your computer. This USB logo
may help you identify a USB port.
2. Plug the smaller end of the USB cable into the USB connection
on the drive.
