LaCie Joule drives / separate PSU brick?

While cleaning through some boxes, I came across my LaCie Joule drive. It was the first hard drive I purchased for a Mac at a time when I didn't have a Mac. I used it for a few years in graduate school, and seem to recall that it had some problems after several years. Tonight, I found a standard UL power cord and plugged the drive to see if it still worked. None of the indicator lights came on. My question is this: did the LaCie drive have an external brick attached to the drive or was it standard UL power cord? I've searched (in vain) across the Internet, hoping to stumble upon a user manual that would show me a parts listing, but have yet to come across it. 

It's not absolutely vital that I get this drive working again, but before I recycle it, I wanted to verify that it truly is dead.

Thanks!
