USB Hub

A USB hub is required when a UPS and an external hard disk are to be used simultaneously.

Make sure that the USB hub supports USB 2.0. Depending on the USB hub in use, there is a chance that USB 1.1 will be operated in the event of both USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 equipment being connected. It is recommended that this type of USB hub is avoided.
