Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a StarTech.com 4-port USB 2.0 mini hub. ST4200MINI allows
you to plug in your most demanding next-generation peripherals and enjoy data
transfer speeds of up to 480 Mbps. And, since ST4200MINI is backward compatible
with USB 1.1 specications, your less demanding peripherals will still function perfectly
with no adjustments. The hub’s compact, “pocket”-sized design means you can take it
with you anywhere, and since it’s USB powered, you don’t have to worry about nding
an available power outlet.

Installation
1. With your computer turned on, plug the mini hub into an open USB 2.0 port.
2. Your computer will automatically detect the device and install the drivers.
3. If you are using several high-powered devices, you may need to use the power
adapter. Plug the adapter into the DC power port on the side of the device and
connect the other end into an available power source.
Checking Proper Installation
On Windows systems, you can check Device Manager to ensure that your hub has been
installed successfully. Under the Universal Serial Bus heading, you should see“Generic
USB Hub” (or similar). If installed correctly, there should be no question or exclamation
marks beside the device name.
Over Current Status
If you are powering the hub through the USB bus and are using several high-current
devices, you may exceed the current limit. If the current limit is exceeded, the hub will
disconnect power from the related port (the port’s LED will also go out). If you have
exceeded the current limitation, plug in the hub’s optional power adapter.
If you are using Windows, you may see a pop-up window telling you that the maximum
current has been exceeded. If you see this window, you can click the Reset button to
resume working. If no window appears, reset the hub by unplugging the USB cable then
plugging it back in.
