Installation

Installation Overview

1If using an electrical box or a mounting bracket, install it in the wall or furniture. See “Wall or furniture mounting”, later in this chapter.

2Mount the USB HUB4 into an appropriate sized AAP or MAAP mounting frame, rack space frame, or other Extron architectural product. See “Mounting the hub to a mounting frame”, later in this chapter, for the procedure.

3Connect the USB HUB4 to the host computer in either of the following ways:

Using the Type mini B USB connector: Connect a type A-to-Type mini B cable (provided) to the USB mini B connector on the HUB4 rear panel.

Using the green captive screw USB In port: Remove the Type B or Type mini B terminator from a Type A-to-B or Type A-to-mini B USB cable and insert the cable’s wires into the 5-pole USB In connector. This method may be necessary if space is limited. (See “Connecting to the captive screw USB connector”, later in this chapter.)

NChoose one of these two methods to connect the HUB4 to the host computer. Do not connect the host computer to both HUB4 connectors at the same time.

4(Optional) If the USB peripheral devices that are connected to the HUB4 require more power than the hub can provide, wire an optional Extron PS 1210 C external 1 A, 12 VDC power supply (part #70-775-01) to the Power In ports on the rear panel. (See “Connecting the external power supply”, later in this chapter.)

5(Optional) If using an electrical box, mount the HUB4 and mounting frame to it. (See “Mounting the hub to a wall box”, later in this chapter.) If you are using a mounting bracket, this step is not needed.

6Connect your peripheral USB devices to the front panel USB Type A connectors.

7Power on the host PC and, if applicable, the desktop power supply.

Check the front panel power indicator LED

to verify that the HUB4 is

receiving power.
