2.1. Connecting the USB 2.0 Y Cable

1. Connect the Y cable’s primary Hi-Speed USB 2.0 A connector

(see 1.4. Cables and Connections) to an available USB 2.0 port

on your computer.

IMPORTANT INFO: The Y cable has two USB 2.0 connectors: the

primary A connector for signal and power and the secondary A con-

nector for additional power, if necessary. The difference is clearly

marked by a lightning bolt sticker on the secondary (power only)

connector. You must connect the primary A connector in order to

send and receive data. See 1.4. Cables and Connections.

2. Attach the other end (mini-USB) of the USB 2.0 Y cable to your

LaCie Slim DVD±RW. See Fig. 06

3. Your drive should now be ready for use. To verify that your drive

is correctly installed and communicating with your computer,

follow these steps:

Mac Users

In the Apple menu, choose About This Mac, then More Info. This will

open the Apple System Proﬁler. Your drive should be listed under the

Hardware category.

Windows Users

Right click your My Computer folder and select Properties>General.

Your drive should be listed.

4. If your Slim DVD±RW does not appear to be receiving ade-

quate power, attach the secondary USB 2.0 A plug (with the

lightning sticker) to an available USB 2.0 port on your com-

puter. See Fig. 07

TECHNICAL NOTE: Your drive must be connected to a USB 2.0

port. Performance is not guaranteed with USB 1.1. See section 1.4.
