Figure 5: Connecting the USB Cable
Note: If your hard drive does not power on after connecting the freeStor Mini 210
to your computer, it may mean that your hard drive requires more power than a
single USB port can deliver. Plug the USB power cable into the power jack on the
unit, and connect the other end to a USB port on your computer.
