Installing Drivers

USB 2.0 driver software with hub support must be installed on your computer for the XHub for Notebooks to operate at USB 2.0 speeds. If you are using an Adaptec USB 2.0 controller, install the USB 2.0 drivers provided on the XHub for Notebooks CD.

Note: The drivers provided on the XHub for Notebooks CD will not work with non-Adaptec USB 2.0 controllers. Refer to your controller’s manufacturer for driver information.

Follow the instructions for your Operating System (OS) to install the USB 2.0 drivers:

■For Windows 2000, Windows Me, or Windows 98SE, see below.

■For Windows XP, see page 6.

■For Macintosh, see page 7.

Note: Adaptec strongly recommends that you always use the most recent drivers to maximize your XHub’s performance. Regularly check the Adaptec website at www.adaptec.com for the most up-to-date USB 2.0 drivers.
