3.2. Connecting an optional Power Sharing Cable (sold separately)
In the event that the USB bus on your computer does not provide the necessary power to operate your drive, a power supply adapter cable (sold separately) will derive the necessary power to operate the drive.
The USB power supply adapter cable connects to an available USB port on your computer.
In case neither of these options work with your specific computer configuration, LaCie offers an optional power supply, sold separately. Please contact your LaCie reseller or LaCie Customer Service for more information.
