Using Your Drive on Mac
Easy Installation for Mac
G-DRIVE mini easily attaches to your computer via a USB 2.0 or FireWire 800
cable. FireWire 400 connectivity is handled by a 9 Pin to 6 Pin cable (included).
Simply plug one end of the cable into the G-DRIVE
mini and the other end of the cable into a free USB or
FireWire connector on your computer. The drive will
automatically mount on the desktop if you are running
Mac OS X.
Optional Power Adapter
Typically, no AC power supply is necessary. The G-DRIVE mini is bus powered to
eliminate the need to carry around an external AC power supply to use the drive.
However, some computer systems may not supply adequate power via USB, which
keeps the G-DRIVE mini from properly spinning up.
If this is the case, it may become necessary to use the optional AC power adapter.
Simply plug the optional power adapter into the G-DRIVE mini and attach the other
end to a surge protector or wall outlet.
