92 * @note Most am7xxx devices come with a Y-shaped USB cable with a Master and
93 * a Slave connector, higher power modes may require that both connectors are
94 * plugged in to the host system for the device to work properly.
96 * @note At higher power modes some devices may use a fan to cool down the
97 * internal hardware components, and hence may be noisier in this case.
