have been installed and the card is recognized by the operating system.
1. Connect the mini connector on the USB cable to the USB port on the drive.
CAUTION! Do not force the connection. Orient the cable with the flat edge of the connector up.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to a USB port on your computer or USB adapter card.
NOTE: The cable works with USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 host connections. For highest

USB host connection does not provide sufficient power through the other line.

Using the Drive

Disconnecting the Drive

Backing Up with Your Drive
Iomega recommends periodic system backups and more frequent data backups to ensure that
your critical data is always protected. The frequency of your backup should depend on the
importance of your data. To protect your data, you can simply drag and drop copies of your
critical files onto the drive.
CAUTION! Any data storage device can fail. Always keep at least two copies on different disks for
all critical data files.
