Hardware Installation
Use static electricity discharge precautions1.
Eliminate the potential for static discharge from any objects that the hub
may come in contact with before the installation. This can be accom-
plished by touching a bare metal chassis rail after you have turned off the
power.
Apply DC power to the 3-pin Terminal Block Connector2.
The terminal block connector adds power to ensure there is enough to
run the 4 downstream USB ports.
Connect the USB host cable3.
The host cable is a standard A-to-B USB2.0 cable. Connect the type-A
connector to the upstream USB port being used, then connect the type-B
connector to the USB hub. Since the hub is plug and play, it can be con-
nected while the host computer is powered on.
Connect the USB devices to the downstream ports of the hub.4.
Mount the hub on the wall or DIN RAIL if required.5.
