Note:
1. By specification USB ports provide 500 mA current which is
enough to operate most 2.5" hard disk drives. In case your
HDD requires more than 500 mA current you need to con-
nect the included USBY cable to assure a stable power supply.
2. Brand new HDDs built into the case must be partitioned and
formatted. Proceed as described below (e.g. Windows XP):
Start / Settings / Control Panel / Administrative Tools /
Computer Management / Disk Management. Click the
respective HDD with the right mouse button and choose
partition/format.
