Setting up the USB hub

System requirements

To use the USB hub, your computer must have:

• USB host controller installed in your computer
• USB-compliant operating system, such as

Windows 98SE, Windows 2000, Windows ME,
Windows XP, Mac OS 8.6-9.x, or Mac OS10.x and above

Installing the USB hub

To install the USB hub:

1 Plug the power adapter into an AC source, and then

plug the other end of cable into the USB hub’s power
connector for self-powered operation.
Your computer’s USB controller can power some USB
devices, but the 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.

2 Plug the B end of the USB cable into the upstream port.
3 Plug the A end of the USB cable into your computer's

USB host controller port.

4 Plug the cables from the USB devices into the

downstream ports.
