Tips & Notes
a) In general
• The integrated USB2.0-Hub is automatically recognized and is
integrated into the operating system. The required drivers are
already components of the operating system.
This is why there is no driver CD included and no separate driver
installation is necessary.
• Which USB2.0 port is used first is of no significance as all ports
have equal priority.
However, if you connect and/or disconnect the devices more
regularly, you should try and use the same connection, if possible.
Otherwise the Window’s hardware recognition may recognize new
hardware.
• 1394 and USB2.0 devices enable the plugging in and out during
operation. This means that you do not have to switch off your
computer, when you want to plug in or unplug devices (with
other interfaces this can cause damage, e.g. if you connect or
disconnect a PS/2 mouse during operation).
If however a data transmission is effected on 1394 or USB ports,
e.g. if a video camera transmits data to a computer and the 1394
plug is unplugged, the user’s program might crash and other data
might be damaged as well!
