3. Installation
3.1 Connecting the Hub and Installing the Driver
To connect the hub to your computer and install the operating system’s default
driver, follow the steps listed below.
The hub comes with one high-speed Type A/mini USB cable so that you can
connect it to a host computer.
1. Power on the computer.
2. Plug the supplied cable’s USB Type A connector end into a USB port on your
computer.
3. Plug the cable’s USB mini USB connector end into the hub.
4. Your computer’s operating system automatically detects the new hardware and
begins installing the appropriate default driver. If the power LED does not come
on, attach the AC power adapter to the AC power jack on the hub and plug
the adapter into an electrical outlet.
5. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the driver installation. You can
now connect USB devices to the hub or daisychain additional hubs.
3.2 Connecting Devices to the USB Hub
To connect a USB device, plug it into a USB port on the hub and follow any
additional instructions provided with the device. When connecting new devices
to the hub, consider the following guidelines.
• If your computer is running the Windows 98 operating system, a series
of screens appears, beginning with the “Add New Hardware Wizard,” to guide
you through the driver installation process.
• If your computer is running Windows 98 SE, Windows Me, Windows 2000,
Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7, the device driver may install
automatically.
• When connecting a new device to your hub, you must run the “Setup” or
“Install” program for that device.
• When connecting a device to the hub, to avoid possible damage, never force
the cable connector into the port on the hub if the cable connector does not
attach.
