2.2. Connecting the Optional Power Sharing Cable
In the event that the USB bus on your computer does not provide the necessary power to operate your drive, there is a power
supply adapter cable that is included with your drive that will derive the necessary power to operate the drive. The USB
power supply adapter cable connects to an available USB port on your computer. 
In case this option does not work with your specific computer configuration, LaCie offers an optional power supply, sold
separately. Please contact your LaCie reseller or LaCie Customer Service for more information.
2.2.1. USB Power Sharing Cable
The USB ports (either USB 2.0 or USB 1.1) on your computer will help provide power to your LaCie drive in the instance that
your USB bus does not supply the necessary power to operate your drive.
Attach the small end of the USB Power Sharing Cable to the back of your LaCie drive.
Attache the USB end of the USB Power Sharing Cable to an available USB port on your computer.
