This portable USB device is powered by the USB bus
and does not require a separate power supply when
connected to most computers. An external power supply
may be needed if you are using any of the following:
! Laptop computer with limited bus power
! USB cable that is longer than 22 inches
! USB bus-powered hub (in this case, you must
connect the optional power supply before the
USB cable)
If external power is needed, use WD’s optional power
supply for this device. WD’s power supply is guaranteed
compatible with this portable USB device, with
specifications defined as “Class 2” and rated 5.0 VDC,
2.0A. Plug the usb in after startup of PC, it should install any required drivers.
