The Adaptec USB2connect Adapter Card (AUA-3100LP) is a

Universal Serial Bus (USB) host adapter for PC-compatible or

Macintosh computers that provides connectivity to USB 1.1 and

USB 2.0 devices. USB 2.0, or Enhanced Host Control Interface

(EHCI), is the fastest USB standard, capable of transferring data

at up to 480 megabits per second. USB 2.0 is compatible with

USB 1.1, Open Host Controller Interface (OHCI) devices. This

adapter is a 32-bit, 33-MHz PCI card and will work in either a

32-bit or 64-bit, 33- or 66-MHz, 3.3- or 5-volt compatible slot.

You can connect standard USB 1.1 or high-speed USB 2.0 devices

to the USB2connect’s external or internal connectors. A 10-foot

(3-meter) USB 2.0 certified high-speed cable is included. This

cable plugs into the connectors on the USB2connect card.

CONNECTING USB DEVICES

•The USB2connect supports hot-plugging, allowing USB

devices to be attached and recognized even when the com-

puter is powered ON.

•Some peripheral manufacturers support hot-plugging in

different ways. See instructions for each device to deter-

mine the best way to attach and mount the peripheral.

•Check the Adaptec Web site at www.adaptec.com for the

latest driver availability. USB 2.0 drivers are not included.

•USB 1.1 devices will run at USB 1.1 speeds even when con-

nected to USB 2.0 host adapters or hubs. USB 2.0 devices

will operate at USB 1.1 speeds when connected to USB 1.1

host adapters or hubs.

NOTE

USB20_IG.fm Page 5 Tuesday, March 27, 2001 4:53 PM

If you have any problems while installing the USB2connect,

check the following:

•Is the card seated evenly in the PCI slot?

•Is bus mastering support provided and enabled for the PCI

slot containing the USB2connect? (Check your motherboard

documentation for information on this.)

•Check the Windows 2000 Event Log if you encounter prob-

lems loading the drivers on your Windows 2000 operating

system.

•Check the troubleshooting section of your operating system

user’s guide.

•Check the User’s Guide and Readme file on the CD if you

encounter any problems with the software.

•If the driver fails to load, move the card to a different PCI slot.

•For the Power Macintosh system, verify that the card is seen

by the Apple System Profiler.

To verify that the card is seen by the Apple System Profiler,

follow these steps:

1. From the Apple Menu, click Apple System Profiler.

2. Click the Devices and Volumes tab.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If you experience any performance issues with your

USB device when connected to a hub, connect that device

directly to the USB2connect host adapter.
