Features

LED Indicators

The power/activity and capacity gauge indicators are represented by four LEDs
underneath the sliding USB port cover as shown above. Only one LED illuminates at
a time corresponding to drive capacity used.

Power/Activity LED Behavior

Capacity Gauge

The capacity gauge is enabled only through installation of its driver and WD Drive
Manager, which must be installed on each system to which My Passport

is

connected. The capacity gauge is updated automatically upon drive usage.

The capacity gauge consists of four sections which illuminate left to right to indicate
space used on the drive during power-on state. Each section represents
approximately 25 percent of drive capacity. Because this drive is preformatted and
contains software and utilities, the first section is illuminated upon installation.
