If your Windows computer will not boot while the SSD18C3 is connected, please
disconnect the SSD18C3 to your computer first and connect the SSD18C3 after starting
Windows. Otherwise, refer to your computer's manual and change the BIOS settings to
instruct the computer to boot from a different device.
Backing up Data
•
Transcend does NOT take any responsibility for data loss, or damage during
operation. If you decide to store data on your SSD18C3 we strongly advise that you
regularly backup the data to a computer, or other storage medium.
•
To ensure Super-Speed USB 3.0 data transfer rates when using your SSD18C3, please
make sure that your computer has the relevant drivers and hardware to support USB 3.0.
If you are unsure about how to check this, please consult the user’s manual of your
computer, motherboard, or USB 3.0 interface card for USB 3.0 driver information.
Transporting
•
Do not pack the SSD18C3 into luggage without proper padded support. Other items in
your luggage may damage the SSD during travel if it does not have proper protection.
•
Avoid squeezing or compressing the SSD18C3.
•
Do not place objects on top of your SSD18C3.
Power
•
The SSD18C3 gets its power directly from your computer’s USB port. However, the
power supplied by the USB ports on some older computers does not meet the stable 5V
DC power requirements of the SSD18C3. If your SSD18C3 does not function properly
upon connecting it to your computer, please plug BOTH ENDS of the USB 3.0 Y-cable
into your computer.
4
Both ends of the USB 3.0 Y-cable should be
connected to provide ample power to the
SSD18C3
•
Use only the USB 3.0 Y-cable that came with the SSD18C3 to connect it to a computer,
and always ensure that the cable you are using is in good condition. NEVER use a cable
that is frayed or damaged.
•
Ensure nothing is resting on the USB cable and that the cable is not located where it can
be tripped over or stepped on.
Reminders
Always follow the procedures in the “Disconnecting from a Computer” section to remove the
SSD18C3 from your computer.
