System requirements

To use the USB hub, your computer must have:
•USB host controller installed in your computer

•USB-compliant operating system, such as Windows 98SE, Windows 2000, Windows ME, Windows XP, Mac OS 8.6-9.x, or Mac OS10.x and above

Installing the USB hub

To install the USB hub:

1Plug the power adapter into an AC source, and then plug the other end of cable into the USB hub’s power connector for self-powered operation.

Your computer’s USB controller can power some USB devices, but the controller may not provide enough power for all the USB devices you plug in. By connecting the USB hub to an electrical outlet, you make sure that all the USB devices get enough power.

2Plug the B end of the USB cable into the upstream port.

3Plug the A end of the USB cable into your computer's USB host controller port.
4Plug the cables from the USB devices into the downstream ports.
