6. How to use an auxiliary power cord or power adapter

SATA hard drives can be high power consumption storage devices. To operate the
SATA hard drive successfully, you need to connect dual USB ports to get more
power supply from another USB port by an USB Y-cable.
If notebook user can not drive this DiskMaster, you may need use it by an external
AC power adapter. Please refer following description of power supply issue.

6.1 Using extra auxiliary power cord of USB “Y” cable

The USB auxiliary power cord is thinner than a regular USB cable. The picture
showing below is connecting an extra auxiliary power cord to another USB port to
direct more power into the hard drive. The main connector (left) must be connected
for the device to work. Both connectors need to be connected to ensure that the
device runs stably.

30

Output Voltage/Current: DC 5V/1.5A

Plug dimension:

a. Inner hole: 1.3mm
b. Outer: 3.5mm
c. Plug length: 6.5-7.5 mm

6.2 Using external AC switching power adapter

The DiskMaster provides a DC jack for notebook user connects an external AC
power adapter. Using an external power adapter can bring enough power for the
SATA hard drive to run stably. You can refer to the following specification to
purchase a suiting power adapter from your dealer.

31

Steps

Action

unsure, please try another USB port.

3

If the error persists, you may have a hardware problem. In this
case, you should contact your vendor.

Steps

Action

1

You may be connected to an USB 1.1 low speed port. Please make
sure that you have connected to a high speed USB2.0 host port. The
DiskMaster can work at both USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 ports. However,
to achieve a hi-speed transfer rate, we recommend you to connect
the DiskMaster to an USB2.0 port.

2

7. Troubleshooting

This chapter covers some basic things you can do in the event that you encounter
problems using this DiskMaster on your system.

Why does the computer not recognize the Smart Backup Disk?

Why is the data transfer rate between the computer and the device
slowing down?

Why does the backup button not work?

32

Steps

Action

1

This could be because not enough power is being supplied to your
hard drive. Please make sure that you have connected both A-plugs

of the USB “Y” cable to direct more power supply. See the “How to
use an auxiliary power cord or power adapter” chapter for more

detailed information.

2

If your DiskMaster is connected to a notebook or via a bus hub
(without external powered), you need to connect an external power
adapter to solve the power issue.

3

If the error persists, you may have a hardware problem. In this
case, you should contact your vendor.

Why does the hard disk in the DiskMaster make continuous noises while
the computer can not recognize the DiskMaster?
