Verify that the POWER light is lit green. If it is not, then ensure
that the power switch is in the ON position.
Try toggling the POWER MODE switch right below the power
switch. The POWER MODE switch toggles whether the device is
powered up via a USB signal or purely based on the power
switch’s position.
If you have installed the Power Save Utility, then verify that the
DriveStation was not put into power saving mode. Consult the
manual for the Power Save Utility for additional help. The manual
can be found on the DriveNavigator CD-ROM.
Verify that the hard drive inside the DriveStation is spinning. This
can be verifi ed by placing your hand on the sides of the case

been powered on for fi fteen minutes or more it will begin to get
warm. If neither of the preceeding tests verifi ed that the hard drive
is spinning, then please contact technical support for further
assistance.
