Intended use
1.
The product is intended to provide 10 USB ports for a personal computer (PC) with one vacant
USB riser on the motherboard. The product is designed to be installed in the 3.5” (89 mm) slot
of a PC.
During operation it operates like a bi-directional repeater, which repeats USB signals as
required on upstream (computer) and downstream (peripherals) cables. It is designed for USB
2.0 and backward compatible with USB 1.1. Only operate the USB hub in dry indoor room.

Operation
4.
Observe the correct pin orientation before connecting the USB riser. Incorrect
orientation or excess force may damage the pins on the motherboard.
Switch off the computer as well as all connected devices and separate all devices from the mains
1.
voltage, pull the mains plug. To switch the device off via the ON/OFF switch is not enough.
Open the housing of the computer.
2.
Insert the front slot into a vacant 3.5” (89 mm) bay on the PC frame. While observing the
3.
correct orientation, the side with USB sockets must face outwards and the printed words on
the panel must be upright. Fasten the front slot on the PC frame with the retaining screws.
At the back, connect the cable marked with a USB sign to a vacant USB riser on the
4.
motherboard while observing the correct orientation. Connect the other cable to a vacant
power supply cable of the PC.
Close the casing and turn on the PC.
5.
You can connect up to ten USB devices to the hub.
6.
The hub supports Plug & Play and hot-swapping (device drivers are automatically recognized
7.
and the devices themselves can be removed while the OS is running).
The product has a current protection function, so it will stop working if the current drain from
8.
a USB socket is over 500 mA. In this case, reconnect the connected device(s). If the problem
reoccurs, check the connected device(s).
Tips
5.
The USB 2.0 is USB 1.1-compatible. That means that traditional USB 1.1 devices can be
•
operated without problems on the USB 2.0 hub. USB 1.1 devices do not become quicker
through this!
The USB 2.0 hub can, of course, also be operated on a USB 1.1 connection, e.g. if your PC
•
has no USB 2.0 connection.
An increase in speed in the data transmission is not possible here either.
•
To be able to exploit the high speed (theoretically 480 Mbit/s, i.e. 60 MB/s), all devices must
•
support USB 2.0 - the USB device (e.g. an external CD burner) itself, the USB hub and the
USB controller in the PC.
In practical operation, the 480 Mbit/s are not achieved. Hardly any device (e.g. hard disk,
•
burner etc.) is in a position to supply data so quickly. Other causes also (e.g. simultaneous
operation of other USB devices, protocol information etc.) reduce the transmission rate.
USB operation is not possible in Windows safe mode or under DOS. USB keyboards and
•
a USB mouse do not normally work. The BIOS/setup of your PC possibly has appropriate
support (could be called e.g. “Legacy USB support”). It is possible, however, that the USB
keyboard/mouse is to be connected directly to the motherboard and not on a USB hub.
Disposal
