your computer, you will need to connect it to a USB port on the computer using the provided USB
Y-cable.

1. Plug the small end of the USB Y-cable into the Mini USB port on the StoreJet® 18.
2. Plug the large end of the cable into an available USB port on your desktop, or notebook
computer.
*On some older computers, the power supplied by the USB port is below the required 5V DC
power. In this instance, please connect the spare large connector on the provided USB Y-cable
to a second USB port on the computer. This will provide the additional power necessary to run
the drive.
