USB3.0 Upstream Port Connectors: There are 2 Type-B upstream
connectors that selectable by the rocker switch. Either port A or
port B (but not simultaneously) is used to control the downstream
ports. Both connectors can be connected to a host or another
USB3.0 hub. They support both normal and screw-lock type USB
cables.
USB3.0 Downstream Port Connectors: There are 16 Type-A
connectors for USB3.0, USB2.0 or USB1.1 devices. They support
both normal and screw-lock type USB cables.
Self Power Input Connector: This 2-pin (one pin for positive voltage
and the other pin is GND) terminal block connector is used to
connect strong power to self-power the hub, the voltage can be
in the range from +12V to 24V DC.
WARNING!!

1. Use static electricity discharge precautions.
Remove possible static discharge potential from any objects that
the hub may come in contact with before installation. This can be
accomplished by touching a bare metal chassis rail after you
have turned off the power.
2. Apply DC power (range from +12V to 24V) to the 2-pin Terminal
Block Connector. The hub was self-powered by this connector.
3. Connecting USB Host cables: The host cable could be either a
standard A-to-B USB3.0 cable or an optional A-to-B USB3.0
screw-lock cable. Please connect the type-A end connector of
the cable to your PC’s host USB3.0 port, then insert the type-B end
connector to this hub. Since the USB hub is plug-and-play, you
don’t have to turn off your host computer when installing the hub.
This hub provides 2 upstream type-B connectors, if you only need
one, connect either of them and leave the other unconnected.
However, please note the rocker switch should be set at correct
position in this case.
4. Connect the USB devices to the downstream ports of this hub.
5. Mount your hub on the wall or DIN RAIL if required.
