If the Targus drive is not functioning:
• Verify that your system meets the hardware requirements. See
“System Requirements” on page 1.
• Make sure that the drive is fully connected to your computer,
USB hub or port replicator and to a live power outlet.
• Check that the drive is receiving power by making sure the
indicator light is green.
• Make sure the cable is firmly attached to the drive and that both
ends of the Y-cable are fully inserted into available USB ports on
your computer.
• Verify that the USB ports you are using provide a minimum of
500 mA of power. (Check the documentation that came with the
device.)
• Use only USB hubs and port replicators that come with their
own AC adapter, or use the included AC adapter for your drive.
• If using the drive via a USB hub or port replicator, turn off all
high power devices that may be diverting power away from the
drive.
