LaCie Rugged eSata - Manual (Page 3)

Setup Steps
1. Connect the USB or eSATA interface cable.
See connection diagrams on the following page.
Note: If the USB bus on your computer does not provide the necessary power to
operate your LaCie Rugged, disconnect the USB cable, connect the USB power
cable to your computer and to the Rugged, and then reconnect the USB cable.
Note: If your computer has a Power eSATA port, the drive will be bus-powered
through this connection. If not, additionally connect the USB power cable to the
drive and to your computer.
Note: As an alternative to using the USB power cable, you can purchase an
A/C power adapter from the LaCie website.
2. After a few seconds, the drive will mount in My Computer (Windows) or on your
desktop (Mac).
