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 up- 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 up- 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 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.
