Power
Only use the original bundled USB Power Adapter Cable to provide additional power to
your StoreJet™.
 The StoreJet™2.5 SATA is powered directly via a computer USB port. However, the power supplied
by the USB port on some older computers is below the required 5V DC power. In this instance, please
connect the USB Power Adapter Cable to the StoreJet™2.5 SATA and a USB port on the computer,
this will provide the additional power necessary to run the drive.
 Please use the Mini USB to USB A-Type cable that came with the StoreJet™2.5 SATA to connect it to
a computer and always ensure that the cable you are using is in a good state of repair, NEVER use a
cable that is frayed or damaged.
 Ensure nothing is resting on the USB cable and that the cable is not located where it can be tripped
over or stepped on.
Reminders
Always follow the procedures in the “Disconnecting from a Computer” section to remove your
StoreJet™2.5 SATA from a computer.
