• Connect the USB receptacle connector of the USB 3.0 Y cable to the integrated USB cable on the
secure hard drive, and then connect the two USB connectors at the other end of the USB 3.0 Y cable

Figure 3. Installing the secure hard drive using the USB 3.0 Y cable
Note: For computers with USB 3.0 connectors, you can connect the secure hard drive to a USB 3.0
connector on the computer using only the main connector of the USB 3.0 Y cable. For computers with
only USB 2.0 connectors, to ensure sufficient power supply, it is recommended that you connect both the
main connector and the additional power supply connector of the USB 3.0 Y cable to the computer.
