External HD etiquette?

[c14nhl]

I'm new to having an external hard drive.

Should I power on before starting my MacBook Pro or wait until I'm at my desktop?

I use it for Time Machine.

It makes no difference. OS X will find it either at start up or after you turn it on when OS X is already loaded.
