Q: When stacking DrivePods, do you need an AC adapter and a USB cable
for each drive?
A: If you are stacking two drives, only the 1st drive requires an AC adapter. If
you are stacking three drives, the 1st and 3rd drives each require an AC
adapter. The same applies if stacking four drives. If you are stacking five
drives, the 1st, 3rd and 5th drives will each require an AC adapter. No mat-
ter how many drives you stack (up to five) only the first drive requires a
USB cable. (See “Stacking DrivePod” on page 26 for full instructions)
Q: When I leave my computer idle for a while and come back, my drive
won’t work properly.
A: The most likely cause is that your computer is going into "Sleep” mode. The
immediate solution is to restart your computer. To prevent this problem from
reoccurring, go into your Power Settings/Energy Saver and set it to where it
never goes into Sleep mode.
Q: How do I purchase additional accessories for my DrivePod?
A: To purchase additional accessories, please contact Customer Service at:
customerservice@acomdata.com. Include your name, phone number, mailing
address, model number, and quantity per item.
