Connecting via eSATA
eSATA/USB Combo Connector
If you are using the eSATA/USB combo connector on your computer, attach one end of the eSATA data cable to the Aegis Padlock Pro, and then attach the other end to the eSATA/USB combo connector on your computer, as shown below.
Standard eSATA Connector
If you are using the standard eSATA connector on your computer, attach both the USB AC Adapter and the eSATA data cable to the Aegis Padlock Pro and your computer, as shown below.
Note: When you are using the eSATA/USB combo connector, the eSATA data cable functions as a data cable and power cable simultaneously, in most cases you should not need the USB power cable.
Note: As the Standard eSATA connection transfers data only and does not provide power, 
you will need to use the 
USB power cable.
