The hub functions now in the “Bus-Powered-Mode”. This means that the current of 500mA

supplied by the computer via USB is divided among the 4 ports.

 Thisissufcientfore.g.mostmiceorkeyboards.

USB devices with higher power consumption (e.g. external 2.5” USB hard discs,

card readers with inserted compact ash hard discs or similar) do not function

correctlyduetotheirhighpowerconsumption(forex.onehearsonlyasoftclick

comingfromthe2.5”housingoftheharddisc,theharddiscisnotrecognized).

Thus, use the computer’s USB ports for devices with a higher power consumption.

Tips & notes

• The USB2.0 hub is USB1.1 compatible. This means that normal USB1.1 devices can be

used with no problems on the USB2.0 Hub. However, this will not speed up USB1.1 devices!

• Normally, USB operation is not possible in DOS or in the protected mode of Windows.

Nevertheless, depending on the computer or BIOS-/Setup settings, the use of a USB

keyboardandaUSBmouseispossible.Itishowevernecessarytoconnectthemdirectlyto

the USB interface of the computer and not to the USB Hub.

• USB devices can be plugged in and unplugged whilst the PC is in 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datatransfersdooccurontheUSBport,e.g.whenanexternaldisksuppliesdatatothe

computer, and you unplug the USB plug, Windows might crash and other data may possibly

be damaged too!

Some USB devices need to be properly ejected before unplugging to avoid data loss.
