Connecting USB Devices

Hotplugging USB Devices

The USB2connect for Notebooks adapter supports hotplugging, 
allowing USB devices to be attached and recognized while the 
computer is on. Device manufacturers support hotplugging in 
different ways. Refer to your device’s documentation for specific 
information.

Note: 

Moving a device from one adapter connector to another 

can cause the operating system to initiate a new hardware 
installation process. Refer to the 

Readme

 file on the 

USB2connect for Notebooks CD for details.

Hubs

The following figure shows the recommended configuration for 
connecting USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 devices. Note that you 

could

 

connect USB 2.0 devices to a USB 1.1 hub, but the USB 2.0 devices 
would run at USB 1.1 speeds.
