Connecting the USB Y-Cable to a Second USB 2.0 Port

If you have another available USB port on your computer (does not
have to be a USB 2.0 port), plug in the Y-cable’s secondary
connector. The secondary USB connector provides additional
power to the enclosure.

Connecting an External Power Supply

If the USB Y-cable does not supply enough power, try connecting
an external power supply (not included) to the power port on the
enclosure.

The external power supply must meet these requirements:

■

Rated at 5 Volts

■

Capable of 1–1.5 Amps (depending on disk drive power
consumption)

■

Connector size:

■

3.5 mm outside (-) diameter

■

1.35 mm inside (+) diameter

■

10 mm length

Plug secondary connector

into any other USB port

for additional power

Plug into the enclosure

Plug main connector into USB 2.0
port for data and power connection
