2.1. Connecting the USB 2.0 Y Cable
1. Connect the Y cable’s primary Hi-Speed USB 2.0 A connector
(see 1.4. Cables and Connections) to an available USB 2.0 port
on your computer.
IMPORTANT INFO: The Y cable has two USB 2.0 connectors: the
primary A connector for signal and power and the secondary A con-
nector for additional power, if necessary. The difference is clearly
marked by a lightning bolt sticker on the secondary (power only)
connector. You must connect the primary A connector in order to
send and receive data. See 1.4. Cables and Connections.
2. Attach the other end (mini-USB) of the USB 2.0 Y cable to your
LaCie Slim DVD±RW. See Fig. 06
3. Your drive should now be ready for use. To verify that your drive
is correctly installed and communicating with your computer,

4. If your Slim DVD±RW does not appear to be receiving ade-

lightning sticker) to an available USB 2.0 port on your com-
puter. See Fig. 07
