1.4. Cables and Connections

1.4.1. Hi-Speed USB 2.0

USB is a serial input/output technology for connecting peripheral

devices to a computer or to each other. Hi-Speed USB 2.0 pro-

vides the necessary bandwidth and data transfer rates to support

high speed devices such as hard drives, CD/DVD drives, and digital

cameras.

USB 2.0 Y Cable

Your LaCie drive is shipped with a Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Y cable to

ensure maximum data transfer performance when connected to a

Hi-Speed USB 2.0 port. The Y cable has a secondary USB 2.0 A

plug to provide additional power to the LaCie Slim DVD±RW.

Please see Fig. 03 - USB 2.0 Y Cable Ends to become acquainted

with the USB 2.0 Y cable:

1. The primary USB 2.0 A plug that connects a device to a com-

puter. For most computers, attaching this primary A plug will

provide ample signal and power for the LaCie Slim DVD±RW.

This USB 2.0 A plug carries the data signal to and from your

device.

2. In the event that the device does not receive enough power via

the primary USB 2.0 A plug, you may connect this secondary

USB 2.0 A plug into a second USB 2.0 port on your computer.

Please note the sticker with the lightning bolt to indicate that

this plug is only meant for additional power and does not carry

the data signal to and from your device.

3. Mini-USB 2.0 plug for a device, such as the LaCie Slim

DVD±RW.
