Dear Customer,
First of all, many thanks for your letter.
Please ensure that both large ends of the USB Y-cable are connected to your computer's rear USB ports for
sufficient power supply.
Please avoid using USB hubs, extension cables or other USB devices, as they often do not supply sufficient
power for external hard drives.
Please also try on other computers and change another cable to see if it is related to the computer or the USB
cable.
Please also check the Disk Manager to see the status of this StoreJet.
Normal disk partition should be Healthy and with FAT32 or NTFS and drive letter.
Please help to provide the Disk Manager screen shot if you are unable to identify the problem.
To upgrade the firmware:
嫂ll settings of DMP10 will be initialized.
嵯o NOT disconnect the power a dapter during update.
