LaCie Rugged eSata User Manual

1. Connect the USB or eSATA interface cable.

  See connection diagrams on the following page.

 

Note: If the USB bus on your computer does not provide the necessary power to  

  operate your LaCie Rugged, disconnect the USB cable, connect the USB power  
  cable to your computer and to the Rugged, and then reconnect the USB cable.

 

Note: If your computer has a Power eSATA port, the drive will be bus-powered  

  through this connection. If not, additionally connect the USB power cable to the  
  drive and to your computer.

 

Note: As an alternative to using the USB power cable, you can purchase an 

  A/C power adapter from the LaCie website.

2. After a few seconds, the drive will mount in My Computer (Windows) or on your 

desktop (Mac).
