USB 2.0 High Speed 4-Port Hub
Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of a Targus USB 2.0 High
Speed 4-Port Hub. This ultra portable hub is USB 2.0
compliant and connects to a Universal Serial Bus (USB) port
on your desktop or notebook computer.
The hub has four ports for connecting USB (high-speed 2.0 or
standard 1.1) devices to your computer. One or more of these
devices can be additional hubs. You can daisy-chain up to 127
USB (high-speed 2.0 or standard 1.1) devices to your computer
in this way.
The hub also provides a maximum bandwidth of 480 Mbps,
which enables you to connect devices that consume a large
amount of bandwidth, such as an external storage device,
printer, scanner, DVD or CD-RW drive or digital camera, to
your computer.
This user’s guide describes how to connect the hub to your
computer and install default software drivers for the following
hub models:
•PAUH200 – USB 2.0 High Speed 4-Port Switching Hub
•PAUH210 – USB 2.0 High Speed Mini Cable Powered Hub

Connecting the Hub and Installing
the Drivers
To connect the hub to your computer and install the operating
system’s default drivers, follow the steps listed below for the
hub model that you purchased.
Model PAUH200
The model PAUH200 hub comes with two high-speed A/B
cables so that you can connect it to two host computers. If you
are connecting the hub to only one host computer, keep the
second cable in a safe, easy to remember place for future use.
1 Turn on your computer (if it’s off).
2 Plug the supplied cable’s USB type A connector end into a
USB port on your computer.

3 Plug the cable’s USB type B connector end into the hub.
4 Repeat steps 2 and 3 using the second cable to connect the
hub to a second host computer.
5 Attach the supplied AC power adapter to the AC power
jack on the hub and plug the adapter into an available
electrical outlet.
Your computer’s operating system automatically detects
the new hardware and begins installing the appropriate
default drivers.

6 Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the driver
installation.
You can now connect USB devices to the hub or
daisy-chain additional hubs.
Model PAUH210
The “Y” power cable that connects the model PAUH210 hub to
your computer has two USB type A connector ends, one black
and one red.
The black connector supports up- and downstream data flow
between the hub and your computer and provides power to the
hub and any device attached to the hub. The red connector only
provides power; data flow is not supported.
When the USB type A connectors are used together, the “Y”
power cable provides enough power to run any attached
device, even devices that consume large amounts of
bandwidth, eliminating the need for an AC power adapter (if
the device has one).
1 Turn on your computer (if it’s off).
2 Using the supplied “Y” power cable, plug the black USB
type A connector end into a USB port on your computer.

3 Plug the red USB type A connector end into another USB
port on your computer for additional power to the hub.

NOTE: If you are using the hub with just one USB connection,
any devices attached to the hub that require heavy power,
such as a printer or external storage device, may operate
slower due to reduced bandwidth. To increase speed, use the
device’s AC power adapter, or connect the red USB type A
connector to your computer.
4 Plug the cable’s USB type B connector end into the hub.
Your computer’s operating system automatically detects
the new hardware and begins installing the appropriate
default drivers.
5 Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the driver
installation.
You can now connect USB devices to the hub or
daisy-chain additional hubs.
Connecting Devices to the USB Hub
To connect a USB device, plug it into a USB port on the hub
and follow any additional instructions provided with the
device.
When connecting new devices to the hub, consider the
following guidelines:
• If your computer is running the Windows®98 operating
system, a series of screens appear, beginning with the Add
New Hardware Wizard, to guide you through the driver
installation process.
• If your computer is running the Windows®Millennium
Edition, Windows®2000 or Windows®XP operating
system, the device drivers may install automatically.

8
• When connecting a new device to the hub, you must run the
Setup or Install program for that device.
• When connecting a device to the hub, to avoid possible
damage, never force the cable connector into the port on the
hub. If the cable connector does not attach smoothly, remove
the connector, turn it over and try attaching it again.
LED Status Indicator Lights
Once the default drivers are installed, the LED status indicator
lights glow and you can connect devices to the hub.
The LED lights display as follows:
Model PAUH200
• Power light glows green when the hub is receiving power
from your computer and glows orange when it’s receiving
power from the AC power adapter.
• Hub status light A glows green when a host computer is
connected.
• Hub status light B glows red if a second host computer is
connected.
NOTE: Use only the supplied AC power adapter with the hub
to avoid possible damage.
