INTRODUCTION
Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the Belkin Hi-Speed USB
2.0 7 Port hub (the Hub). The hub provides 7 downstream USB ports
that are compatible with both USB 1.1 (Low Speed and Full Speed)
devices, as well as with USB2.0 (Hi-Speed) devices.
This means that the Hub is “backward-compatible” with all of your
current USB 1.1 devices as well as the new generation of “Hi-Speed”
USB 2.0 devices. This may include such peripherals as scanners, printers,
mass storage devices, and high resolution cameras. The Hub is self
powered, which allows the cascading of devices with additional hubs, so
that up to 127 USB devices to be connected to a single port.

INSTALLATION
Important Note: Do not connect USB devices to the hub until you are
instructed to do so in step 4 of this user guide.
1. Plug the AC adapter into a wall outlet, or surge suppressor. Plug the
DC connector into the DC Power Jack found on the rear of the hub
2. Plug the flat end (USB A connector) of the provided USB device cable
into the downstream port of your computer, or downstream port of
another hub, then plug the other end (USB mini B connector) of the
device cable into the upstream port on the rear of the hub.
Important Note: The hub must be connected to a USB 2.0 compliant host
in order to function in Hi-Speed mode (480Mbps data
rate). If the hub is connected to a USB 1.1 compliant
host, it will operate only in Low Speed or Full Speed
mode (1.5 Mbps/12 Mbps).
3. Windows will now detect your hub and install the required driver
support. (The Windows “Install New Hardware Wizard” may prompt
you to provide your Windows Installation CD to complete the driver
installation process).

INSTALLATION
Important Note: Hi-Speed hub drivers are included with most USB 2.0 PCI
upgrade cards, and are pre-installed along with the PCI
card drivers. If you purchased an upgrade card prior to
the release of Hi-Speed hub support, please check with
your PCI card vendor for an updated USB 2.0 driver. The
Belkin USB 2.0 driver supports all competitive cards
based on the NEC host controller with the exception of
Adaptec. The most recent Belkin driver is available at
www.belkin.com.
4. Plug the USB-A connector of the USB device, or an additional hub,
into any of the downstream ports of the F5U237.
Important Note: When moving a device from one port on the hub to
another, it may be necessary to re-install the USB drivers
for that device.
