Powering the Drive Enclosure
The hard drive enclosure requires no external power supply, as it is ca-
pable of receiving enough power (5V/500mA) from the USB Bus to which
it is connected. Please ensure that both USB type A connectors are
inserted into available ports on the host computer.
LED Indicator
The hard drive enclosure offers an LED indicator, to enable you to moni-
tor drive activity. When the enclosure is powered, the LED will illuminate
and remain green. While the hard drive is being accessed, however, the
LED will change from green to red. Do not remove the enclosure from
the host computer while the LED is red, as it could damage the drive or
the enclosure, resulting in data loss.
