Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the Belkin USB Peripheral Switch
(the Switch). The Switch gives multiple computers access to a single USB

storage device. The Switch makes peripheral sharing simpler and easier than
ever. It offers a convenient design and easy-to-use switching software that
gives you immediate access to your USB device. Once connected, your device
stays available to all connected computers, eliminating the need for you to
unplug and reconnect it to another computer. The Belkin USB Peripheral Switch
is backed by a Belkin One-Year Warranty and free technical support.

This manual will provide details about your new Switch, from installation and
operation, to troubleshooting—in the unlikely event of a problem.
