USB 2.0 High Speed 4-Port Hub Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of a Targus USB 2.0 High Speed 4-Port Hub. This ultra portable hub is USB 2.0 compliant and connects to a Universal Serial Bus (USB) port on your desktop or notebook computer. The hub has four ports for connecting USB (high-speed 2.0 or standard 1.1) devices to your computer. One or more of these devices can be additional hubs. You can daisy-chain up to 127 USB (high-speed 2.0 or standard 1.1) devices to your computer in this way.
Features PAUH200 • Has two type B USB ports that allow a user to connect and simultaneously use the hub with a second computer • Supports hot swapping and Plug and Play operation PAUH210 • Supplied “Y” power cable uses two type A USB connectors, one for power and data flow (black) and the other for power only (red), eliminating the need for an AC power adapter System Requirements To use the hub, your computer must meet the following hardware requirements and run one of the operating systems listed below.
Connecting the Hub and Installing the Drivers To connect the hub to your computer and install the operating system’s default drivers, follow the steps listed below for the hub model that you purchased. Model PAUH200 The model PAUH200 hub comes with two high-speed A/B cables so that you can connect it to two host computers. If you are connecting the hub to only one host computer, keep the second cable in a safe, easy to remember place for future use. 1 Turn on your computer (if it’s off).
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the driver installation. You can now connect USB devices to the hub or daisy-chain additional hubs. Model PAUH210 The “Y” power cable that connects the model PAUH210 hub to your computer has two USB type A connector ends, one black and one red. The black connector supports up- and downstream data flow between the hub and your computer and provides power to the hub and any device attached to the hub.
NOTE: If you are using the hub with just one USB connection, any devices attached to the hub that require heavy power, such as a printer or external storage device, may operate slower due to reduced bandwidth. To increase speed, use the device’s AC power adapter, or connect the red USB type A connector to your computer. 4 Plug the cable’s USB type B connector end into the hub. Your computer’s operating system automatically detects the new hardware and begins installing the appropriate default drivers.
• When connecting a new device to the hub, you must run the Setup or Install program for that device. • When connecting a device to the hub, to avoid possible damage, never force the cable connector into the port on the hub. If the cable connector does not attach smoothly, remove the connector, turn it over and try attaching it again. LED Status Indicator Lights Once the default drivers are installed, the LED status indicator lights glow and you can connect devices to the hub.
