NOTE: Some USB ports do not supply enough electricity to power the hard
drive. If you notice the drive is not appearing on your computer with only one
USB plug inserted, then insert both USB plugs into 2 available USB ports.
(Fig. 2) In most cases, this should be sufficient. Please contact customer
support for additional questions.

Troubleshooting
LED light indicator does not turn on
Make sure the USB cable is inserted correctly into the hard drive and the
computer. Insert both USB plugs into 2 available USB ports on your
computer to ensure the hard drive has sufficient power.
Computer does not detect hard drive
Make sure the USB cable is securely connected. Sometimes, the hard drive
will spin but not be detected by the computer. Insert both USB plugs into 2
available USB ports on your computer to ensure the drive has sufficient
power. If the known working device is not detected, attach another known
working device and working cable into the USB port on the computer. If this
does not work, the problem could be your computer's USB port. If the port
and cable both work, contact customer support if the drive still does not work.
