Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your My Book, connect the included power adapter to a wall outlet and use the provided USB cable to link the drive to your computer. The drive arrives pre-formatted in exFAT, which ensures compatibility with Windows 10/8/7 and recent versions of macOS. For optimal care, keep the device on a flat, stable surface with adequate airflow to stay within the operating temperature range of 5 to 35 °C. Avoid moving the unit while it is powered on to protect the internal mechanical components, and utilize the Kensington cable lock slot if you need to secure the physical drive in a public workspace.
