3.2 Connectivity Notes

•  The Voyager S3 is backwards compatible with USB 2.0 ports and cables. If connected 

with a USB 2.0 cable or to a USB 2.0 port, the Voyager S3 will operate at USB 2.0 speeds.

•  For the safe removal of your drive and to ensure that no data is lost, always eject or 

unmount the drive from your operating system before powering off the Voyager S3. 

•  In order for the computer to access volumes larger than 2TB, the operating system needs 

to support large volumes (e.g., Windows Vista or OS X 10.4 and above).

3.3 Troubleshooting

Begin your troubleshooting by verifying that the power cable is connected to the Voyager 
S3 and to a power source. If the power cable is connected to a power strip, make sure 
that the power switch on the strip is turned on. Next, verify that both ends of the cable 
are properly plugged into the computer and the Voyager S3. If the Voyager S3 is still not 
working properly, try connecting to a different computer.
