USB Cables and Connectors
USB is a serial input/output technology for connecting peripheral
devices to a computer or to each other. Hi-Speed USB 2.0 is the
latest implementation of this standard, and it provides the necessary
bandwidth and data transfer rates to support high speed devices
such as hard drives, CD/DVD drives and digital cameras.
USB Cable
Your LaCie hard disk is shipped with a Hi-Speed USB 2.0 cable to
ensure maximum data transfer performance when connected to a
Hi-Speed USB 2.0 port (
Fig. 04 – USB Cable Ends
). The cable will
also work when connected to a USB 1.1 port, but drive performance
will be limited to USB 1.1 transfer rates.
USB Power Cable
In the event that the USB bus on your computer does not provide the
necessary power to operate your LaCie hard disk, the included USB
power cable connects to an available USB port on your computer
(
Fig. 05 – USB Power Cable Ends
).
The USB ports (either USB 2.0 or USB 1.1) on your computer will
help provide power to your LaCie drive.
1. Attach the small end of the USB power cable to the back of your
LaCie drive (
Fig. 06
, a).
2. Attach the USB end of the USB power cable to an available USB
port on your computer (
Fig. 06
, b).
