The L-shaped USB cable can connect to the drive in either direction, but when plugged in with the
cord extending to the right, the cable blocks the AC Adapter Connector. To avoid damage if using an
optional AC adapter, plug in the USB cable so the cord extends to the left.
Note
• Connection to a USB 3.0 port is recommended, since when a USB 3.0 cable is connected to a USB
2.0 port, the connection will be limited to USB 2.0 performance standards.
• This unit can operate with USB 1.1 but will not provide optimum performance.
• Connecting this unit through a USB hub or using unspecified cables may not achieve proper
operation.
• If power is insufficient when using a USB port, connect an AC adapter (not included) through the
DC IN connector on the unit’s rear panel and plug into a wall outlet to deliver power. Connect the
USB cable (included) after connecting the AC adapter for proper operation. For more details about
the AC adapter connection, visit or contact
