[Connecting a HDD power cable]
Sometimes the HDD in the U2-MDK1 causes in-rush current problem at the startup.
To avoid the power shortage or the influence to other devices, we strongly recom-
mend to use a separate power connector for each HDD as shown in the RIGHT
CONNECTION.
RIGHT CONNECTION
Use a power cable for the U2-MDK1 only and
never connect any other devices to the power cable

Power cable
Never connect any other devices
If you connect any other devices such as a internal
HDD to the same power cable the U2-MDK1 uses
as shown above, the power supply unit can’t supply
enough power for the internal HDD unit to spin up
and fails to work the HDD because of the shortage
of power.
