5. An over current message is displayed when connecting through
a PC Card.
PC cards typically limit the amount of power available through the primary
USB cable. Therefore, the auxiliary power cable, which is included with
EZ Bus, will need to be used. The drive is connected to a non-powered
port or the power cable has been inserted into a USB connector that
cannot provide enough power to run the device. To prolong battery
life, the USB connectors on a mobile computer usually limit the amount
of bus-power they can provide to USB devices and the USB 2.0 hard
disk drive must use an additional power source to work in a mobile
computer. Attach the included auxiliary power cable to an existing USB
port ensuring the power connection is plugged in before connecting the
drive to the USB 2.0 port.
6. The computer installs the device but operates at the slower
USB 1.1 speed.
The drive is connected to a standard USB Connector on your computer
and cannot communicate using the high-speed USB 2.0 protocol. Verify
that the USB host controller supports USB 2.0 transfer rates and that
the USB host controller has the correct device drivers installed. If you
are using USB 2.0 hard disk drive on a standard USB connector on your
computer, the high-speed transfers are automatically disabled and the
USB 2.0 hard disk drive will operate as a USB 1.1 device.
7. What software is included with my EZ Bus?
