About USB 2.0 Performance

For your XHub2 and USB 2.0 devices to operate at USB 2.0

speeds, the XHub2 must be connected to a USB 2.0 port,

and USB 2.0 drivers with hub support must be installed on

your computer.

If your computer does not have a built-in USB 2.0 port,

Adaptec recommends connecting your XHub2 to an

Adaptec USB 2.0 adapter for the highest-quality USB 2.0

connection.

Note:

USB 1.1 devices won’t operate at USB 2.0 speeds,

even if they’re connected to a USB 2.0 hub or adapter.

Plugging in Your XHub2

Follow the picture to connect your XHub2. You don’t have

to power off your computer before connecting the hub.

You do not need to install any device drivers. When your

XHub2 is connected and your computer is powered on,

your hub is ready for use.

Unplugging Your XHub2

Your XHub2 is hot-pluggable, which means it can be

connected

and disconnected while your computer is on.

(Your USB devices

may not be hot-pluggable, however; see

Unplugging Your Devices on page 3 for more information.)

Plugging in Your Devices

Note: USB 1.1 devices won’t operate at USB 2.0

speeds, even if they’re connected to a USB 2.0 hub or

adapter. See About USB 2.0 Performance on page 1 for

more information.

Unplugging Your Devices

Device manufacturers support hot-plugging in different

ways. Some devices (like CD-ROM drives) must be

stopped before they are unplugged. Refer to your devices’

documentation for disconnection recommendations.
