USB 3.0 2-Port/4-Port Data Switch
Quick Installation Guide
Introduction
The intelligent USB 3.0 Data Switch allows you sharing a single USB 3.0 peripheral with 2/4 different computer
systems, avoiding the cost of purchasing duplicate peripherals or the hassle of swapping cables from one system to
another.
This unit delivers speed and flexibility, with simple push-button controls for switching between computers, and
supports Super Speed USB bandwidth (up to 5 Gbps) ensuring fast data transfers to/from your shared peripheral
device. The switch is also backward compatible with USB 2.0/1.1 (480Mbps, 12Mbps respectively), so you don't
have to worry about your computer or older peripherals not performing.
The switch can also be connected to a USB hub, to expand the number of devices you can share between the 2/4
connected systems, or to a USB drive enclosure or docking station, for a shared external storage solution..

Installation
Install the necessary drivers for the peripheral device on each computer it will be shared between
Turn Off all the computers & peripheral device you intent to connect together via the switch before continuing
with the installation.
Connect the USB 3.0 Data Switch to your peripheral device and computers with suitable USB 3.0 cables. (Sold
separately)
Power up your computers and the peripheral device
Your peripheral device will now be ready to switch between computers
NOTE: If you want to share multiple USB peripheral devices between computers connect a USB Hub to the USB
Switch, connecting the peripheral devices to the hub. (As with any peripheral device connected to the Switch, install
the necessary drivers on the connected computers before use.).
Operation
The LED on the USB 3.0 Data Switch will indicate which computer is currently accessing the peripheral device
To switch peripheral devices between computers simply press the corresponding computer button (1,2,3,4) you
wish to switch to on the USB 3.0 Data Switch

Troubleshooting
The maximum cable length between the Data Switch & peripheral devices or the Data Switch and a computer is 2
meters. Do Not switch to a computer that is in the process of booting
Computers must be “awake” before it is possible to switch to them. Before switching ensure that the attached
USB device is not in use –read/writing discs, printing etc
