Connecting via an USB Cable
1. Insert the flat connector labelled “Data/Power” [4] of the
USB cable into a free USB port on your desktop PC or
notebook.
2. Next connect the other connector [3] of the USB cable to
the USB port [2] of your Silvercrest MoBox.
3. The operating system will automatically detect that a new
USB device has been connected and will install the
corresponding driver.
4. Only if required, plug the second USB connector labelled
“Power” [5] to another USB port. This will ensure that
there will be enough power available for using the
product without any problems.
On first-time connection of the Silvercrest MoBox, the
operating system will notify of the detection of new hardware
with this message:

The built-in hard disk has already been formatted with the
NTFS file system and is therefore ready for immediate use.
The Silvercrest MoBox shows as a new disk in "Computer"
with a drive letter assigned by the operating system. The
drive letter assigned depends on the number of disk drives
you already have connected to your computer.
