USB specifications and supply a minimum of 5V/500mA of power.
Operating System
• Windows® 2000/XP
• Windows Vista™
Connecting the Drive and Installing the Drivers
NOTES: Installing the Targus drive may change internal drive letter assignments.
You can connect the Targus drive to your computer via a hub or port replicator as long
as the device has its own AC power adapter.
The Y-cable that connects the Targus drive to your computer has two
USB type A connector ends, one single and one with a USB pass-
through.
The connector with the USB pass-through supports upstream and
downstream data flow between your computer and supported devices
connected to the pass-through connector and provides power to the
drive. The single connector supports upstream and downstream data
flow between the drive and your computer and also provides power to
the drive.
CAUTIONS: Avoid connecting a high power device, such as a printer or scanner, to your
computer via the Y-cable’s pass-through end as the device may not work properly
and/or cause the Targus drive to stop working temporarily. For best results, connect
only low power devices, such as a mouse or keyboard, to the passthrough end.
If using a USB hub or port replicator, the USB ports on the device must provide at least
500 mA, per port, for the Targus drive to work properly. Also, for best results, turn off
any high power devices on the hub or port replicator while using the drive.
