Installation | 03
Important Note: Please do not connect any USB devices to the Hub until instructed to
do so in step 4 of this installation procedure.
1. Plug the AC adapter into a wall outlet or surge protector. Plug the DC connector into
the DC power jack found on the rear of the Hub.
Note: Use the power supply only for power-hungry devices such as hard drives and
DVD burners.
2. Plug the flat end of the Hub’s USB connector into the downstream port of your
computer or other hub.
Important Note: The Hub must be connected to a USB 2.0-compliant host in order
to function in high-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
(1.5Mbps/12Mbps).
3. If your computer is on, 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.)
