Connecting the Drive and Installing the Drivers

NOTES: Installing the Targus drive may change internal drive letter assignments. You can connect the Targus drive to your computer via a hub or port replicator as long as the device has its own AC power adapter.

The Y-cable that connects the Targus drive to your computer has two USB type A connector ends, one single and one with a USB pass-through.

The connector with the USB pass-through supports up- and downstream data flow between your computer and supported devices connected to the pass-through connector and provides power to the drive. The single connector supports up- and downstream data flow between the drive and your computer and also provides power to the drive.

CAUTIONS: Avoid connecting a high power device, such as a printer or scanner, to your computer via the Y-cable’s pass-through end as the device may not work properly and/or cause the Targus drive to stop working temporarily. For best results, connect only low power devices, such as a mouse or keyboard, to the passthrough end.

If using a hub or port replicator, the USB ports on the device must provide at least 500 mA, per port, for the Targus drive to work properly. Also, for best results, turn off any high power devices on the hub or port replicator while using the drive.
