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.
