NSTALLING THE
Important Notes:
• Use of a third-party AC adapter and power cord may damage the drive
and void the warranty.
• It is highly recommended that when you install the DrivePod, you connect it to
a USB port on your computer rather than to a USB hub. Once the installation
has been successfully completed, you can re-connect the drive to a USB hub
if you so choose. We recommend this approach because if you experience a
problem during installation, the problem will be easier to troubleshoot if a
USB hub is not used. Please follow the instructions in the section "How to
Safely Dismount and Turn off the DrivePod" on page 24 before switching the
drive to a USB hub.
• Before you install the DrivePod, we recommend that you either restart
your computer, or shut it down and connect the drive with the computer
turned off. This way you can start with a "clean slate" and avoid potential
problems caused by software conflicts or memory fragmentation.
