Dynex USB 2.0 4-Port Hub

Introduction

Your Dynex USB 2.0 4-port hub provides four USB ports that let you connect USB
devices to your computer, such as USB printers, scanners, cameras, and flash
drives. This hub has a space-saving, compact design that is ideal for travel. Your
computer’s USB controller can power some USB devices, but if multiple devices are
attached to the hub, the controller may not provide enough power for all the USB
devices. Connecting the USB hub to an optional power adapter increases the total
power available for all USB devices.

Note: Using a power adapter is optional and requires a separate purchase. To

prevent any damage, make sure the power adapter is rated at 5VDC and 2.5
amps.

System requirements

To use the USB hub, your computer must have:

•USB port

• USB-compliant operating system, such as Windows 98SE, Windows 2000,
Windows ME, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Mac OS 8.6 or above.

Setting up the USB hub

Installing the USB hub

To i nstall the US B hub:

1 Plug the cable into a Type A connector on the computer. The computer

detects the hub and installs the required drivers.

2 Plug the cables from the USB devices/peripherals into the downstream

ports.

3 Optional: Plug the power adapter into an AC electrical outlet, and then plug

the other end of the cable into the USB hub’s power connector.

Note: Your computer’s USB cont roller can power some USB devices, but th e

controller may not provide enough power for all the USB devices you plug in.
By connecting the USB hub to an electrical outlet, you make sure that all the
USB devices get enough power.

Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting

• Connect your USB device to the hub only after the auto-installation is
complete.

• USB 2.0 performance (high speed of up to 480 Mbps) can only be expected
when the hub is connected to your computer’s USB 2.0 port and the
connected USB peripherals are USB 2.0 compliant.

• Though the hub comes with a DC IN power jack, in most cases, a power
adapter is not required. If your USB peripheral (e.g., USB scanner or printer)
is power demanding, then the USB peripheral should always be connected
to its provided power adapter.

•If “USB Hub Power Exceeded” message appears, the hub’s over-current
protection will automatically disconnect power to the hub. This problem
usu ally o ccurs when a n attached USB peripheral demands more power than
the hub can provide. To solve this problem, disconnect the affected USB
peripheral and re-connect the peripherals and hub.

Note: Make sure the affected USB peripheral has enough power by connecting its

provided power adapter to it.
