Hardware Setup

Before installing the hub, make sure you have received all of the following items. If any of the items are damaged or missing, contact your ven- dor for replacements:

•USB 4-Port Hub

•AC Power Adapter

•6’ USB Cable

After unpacking the hub, follow the steps below to complete the installation.

Step 1

• Plug in the AC power adapter (optional).

The USB 4-Port Hub can run with or without its AC power adapter. If you decide not to use the adapter, the hub will draw its power supply from your computer’s USB port.

If you have a notebook computer, or if you have lots of devices connected to your computer, you might want to use the AC power supply -- it can help boost signal strength between a PC and its devices, and if you have a notebook, it will help preserve your computer’s battery life.

Some USB devices require more power than the hub can supply in self-powered mode. If you plug a device into your hub and it doesn’t work proper- ly, it may need more power. In this case, you

should plug the AC adapter into your hub.

If you decide to use the AC adapter, plug it into the hub’s AC power adapter receptacle located on the rear of the hub now.

Step 2

• Plug your computer into the hub.

The USB 4-Port Hub came with a USB cable. One end of the cable has a rectangular plug, which is called an A-type connector. The other end of the cable has a square shaped plug, or B-type connec- tor.

Insert the cable’s square B-type plug into the hub’s Root Port, which is located on the rear of the hub.

Insert the other end of the cable (the A-type plug) into your computer’s USB port. The computer is now connected to the hub.
