Installation

Important Note: Do not connect USB devices to the hub until you are instructed to do so in step 4 of this user guide.

1.Plug the AC adapter into a wall outlet, or surge suppressor. Plug the DC connector into the DC Power Jack found on the rear of the hub

2.Plug the flat end (USB A connector) of the provided USB device cable into the downstream port of your computer, or downstream port of another hub, then plug the other end (USB mini B connector) of the device cable into the upstream port on the rear of the hub.

Important Note: The hub must be connected to a USB 2.0 compliant host in order to function in Hi-Speed mode (480Mbps data rate). If the hub is connected to a USB 1.1 compliant host, it will operate only in Low Speed or Full Speed mode (1.5 Mbps/12 Mbps).

3.Windows will now detect your hub and install the required driver support. (The Windows “Install New Hardware Wizard” may prompt you to provide your Windows Installation CD to complete the driver installation process).

Important Note: Hi-Speed hub drivers are included with most USB 2.0 PCI upgrade cards, and are pre-installed along with the PCI card drivers. If you purchased an upgrade card prior to the release of Hi-Speed hub support, please check with your PCI card vendor for an updated USB 2.0 driver. The Belkin USB 2.0 driver supports all competitive cards based on the NEC host controller with the exception of Adaptec. The most recent Belkin driver is available at www.belkin.com.

4.Plug the USB-A connector of the USB device, or an additional hub, into any of the downstream ports of the F5U237.

Important Note: When moving a device from one port on the hub to another, it may be necessary to re-install the USB drivers for that device
