Powering the Drive Enclosure  
The hard drive enclosure requires no external power supply, as it is ca-  
pable of receiving enough power (5V/500mA) from the USB Bus to which  
it is connected. Please ensure that both USB type A connectors are  
inserted into available ports on the host computer.  
LED Indicator  
The hard drive enclosure offers an LED indicator, to enable you to moni-  
tor drive activity. When the enclosure is powered, the LED will illuminate  
and remain green. While the hard drive is being accessed, however, the  
LED will change from green to red. Do not remove the enclosure from  
the host computer while the LED is red, as it could damage the drive or  
the enclosure, resulting in data loss.

green. To do so, simply unplug the USB cable connecting the enclosure
