Installing the USB hub
To install the USB hub:

ports.

the other end of the cable into the USB hub’s power connector.

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.
