2. Setup

System Requirements

• Available USB port (USB3.0 port required for USB3.0 speeds)

• PC with an Intel® Pentium® processor or equivalent

• 64 MB RAM or higher

• Supported Operating Systems

○ Microsoft Windows Server 2003 / XP* / Vista / 7 / 8

* In line with Microsoft’s End-of-Support announcement for Windows XP,

Kanguru Solutions is ending support for the Windows XP platform. While

our products have been quality tested internally on Windows XP, we cannot

guarantee normal product operation on an unsupported OS.

3. Using Your Kanguru Hub

1. Connect the 7-port hub to your computer using the USB3.0 cable

provided. Plug the B-type connector into the USB-in port on the hub,

and then connect the other end to your computer. Windows comes with

the necessary software drivers already installed. The device driver will be

automatically installed when the hub is connected to the computer for the

first time, no additional drivers are required.

2. Plug the AC adapter pin into the DC port on the hub, then plug in the other

end to an electrical outlet or other adequate power supply.

3. Plug your USB devices into any of the 7 available USB ports on the hub.

The Kanguru 7-port USB3.0 hub must be plugged in through a USB3.0 port

on you computer in order to operate at USB3.0 speeds. If you connect the hub

through a USB2.0 port, you will only be able to operate at USB2.0 speeds.

Note: The USB hub can supply power to low power devices like USB flash

drives. However, if the device you are connecting requires additional power

(i.e. external hard drives, optical disk drives) it cannot be powered by the USB

hub alone and will require a connected external power as it would through

normal use.

4. Safely Disconnecting the Hub

Before removing the Kanguru Hub, make sure that you have safely removed

any USB devices that were connected to your computer through the hub.

In order to do this:

1. Click on the Safely Remove Hardware icon in your taskbar and click

on any drives that are connected to your computer through the hub.

When you receive a message confirming that you can safely remove the

hardware, remove the device from the hub.

2. Once all the USB devices have been disconnected from the hub, you can

safely disconnect the hub from your PC.

If you experience any problems using your 7-port USB3.0 hub or have any
