POWERING UP THE DEVICE
There are two ways to power this AZiO device, via USB or
power adapter. Here are the options:
When connected via USB: If connected to a non-
powered HUB then power supply is required,
otherwise this device can draw power via the USB
port.
When connected via eSATA: You may power this
device by connecting the USB cable simultaneously
to draw power or use the power adapter. When
both interfaces are co nn ec t ed , t he d r i ve will be
accessed as an eSATA device.

connector heads. Under normal operations, just
connecting one of the connectors will be sufficient.
However, some hard drives may require additional power
to function properly - in which case you will need to plug
in both connectors or use the included power adapter.
