Daisy-Chaining XHubs

If you want to add more USB 2.0 ports to your system, Adaptec XHubs can be daisy-chained (linked in series). You can connect up to five XHub for Notebooks hubs. (This is a USB limitation.)

To daisy-chain XHubs:

1Connect a power adapter to each XHub. (See Plugging in Your XHub on page 4.)

2Plug the first XHub’s USB cable into the USB port on your computer.

3Plug the next XHub’s USB cable into a USB port on the first XHub. You can use any available USB port.
