Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the Belkin Hi-Speed
USB 2.0 4-Port Drive Bay Hub (the Hub). The Hub provides four
downstream USB ports that are compatible with Hi-Speed USB 2.0
devices as well as with low- and full-speed USB 1.1 devices.

This means that the Hub is backward-compatible with all of your
current USB 1.1 peripherals while it enables the ultrafast performance
levels of next-generation USB 2.0 devices, including scanners,
printers, mass storage devices, and high-resolution cameras. The Hub
is self-powered, allowing for the cascading of devices with additional
hubs, so that you can connect up to 127 USB devices to a single port.
The Hub provides a multicolored status LED for each individual port,
and a master power LED. For additional information, refer to the
“Technical Specifications” section.

INSTALLATION

4

1. Turn off power and remove the cover from your computer.

2. Remove the front panel insert from an empty 3.5-inch drive

bay, and install the Hub into the drive bay (consult your
computer manual for information regarding installation of
drive bay compatible devices). (See Fig. 2.)

Fig. 2

3. Plug a compatible power connector from your computer

power supply onto the power connector on the rear of the
Hub. (See Fig. 3.)

INSTALLATION (CONTINUED)

4. Plug the provided USB cable into the USB connector on

the rear of the Hub. (See Fig. 4). Plug the other end of
the USB cable into an available port on a Hi-Speed USB

2.0 host adapter card.

Fig. 4

Note A: The Hub must be connected to a USB

2.0-compliant host in order to function in high-speed
mode (480Mbps data rate). If the Hub is connected to a
USB 1.1-compliant host, it will operate only in low- or
full-speed mode (1.5Mbps or 12Mbps).

5. Replace your computer’s cover and turn the power on.

6. Your Windows operating system will now detect the Hub

and install the required drivers. (The Windows “Install
New Hardware Wizard” may prompt you to provide your
Windows Installation CD to complete the driver
installation process.)

Note B—VERY IMPORTANT: Hi-Speed USB 2.0 hub drivers are
included with most USB 2.0 PCI upgrade cards, and are
pre-installed along with the PCI card drivers. If you purchased
an upgrade card prior to the release of Hi-Speed USB 2.0 hub
support, please check with your PCI card vendor for an updated
USB 2.0 driver. The Belkin USB 2.0 driver supports all
competitive PCI cards based on the NEC host controller, with
the exception of those released by Adaptec. The most recent
Belkin driver is available at belkin.com.

7. Plug the USB A connector of a USB device, or an additional

hub, into any of the downstream ports of the Drive Bay Hub.
(See Fig. 5.)

Fig. 5

Note C: When plugging a USB device into the Hub for the first
time, it may be necessary to reinstall the USB drivers for that
device. Likewise, if you move the device to another port on the
Hub, it may be necessary to reinstall the drivers.
