Connecting the Cables WD DUAL-OPTION MEDIA CENTER AND COMBO EXTERNAL STORAGE PRODUCTS USER MANUAL Important: You may connect the USB cable and/or FireWire cable depending on features you want to support. WD recommends connecting both USB and FireWire cables for optimum performance. Because the USB hub (Combo and Media Center) and memory card reader (Media Center) are USB devices, enabling them requires a USB connection. If you connect only the FireWire cable, USB devices are not supported. 1. Connect the AC adapter cord to the DC power supply socket on the back of the drive. 2. Connect one end of the power cord to the AC adapter. 3. Connect the other end of the power cord to an electric outlet. 4. Connect one end of the USB 2.0 cable to the USB 2.0 port on the back of the drive. 5. Connect the other end of the USB 2.0 cable to an available USB port on your computer. 6. Connect one end of the FireWire cable to a FireWire port on the back of the drive. 7. Connect the other end of the FireWire cable to an available FireWire port on your computer.
