Instruction Manual

Connecting Devices to Your USB Card

When you install a USB device to one of your USB ports, Windows will automatically

detect it and you will be prompted to install the drivers for the device. If you ever plug

this device into a different port on your USB 2.0 card, you will be prompted to install the

drivers again. If possible, you should plug the device into each port on your USB card

and install the drivers for each port the first time your connect your peripheral. Later on,

with the drivers already installed for each port, you can unplug and move your USB 2.0

devices around your card without having to worry about finding your driver disk.

Safely Removing the USB 2.0 Card

While the card can be removed with the computer running and Windows started (a

process commonly referred to as “hot-plugging”), Windows does offer a “safe removal”

feature that ensures that the card is inactive before it is removed from the CardBus slot.

It is strongly recommended that you follow this procedure when removing the card from a

computer to avoid data loss or equipment damage.

To use the safe removal feature:

1. Locate the hardware ejection icon in the System Tray (next to

the clock).

2. Left click the icon once to activate the device

menu.

3. Highlight the card from the list and click it once.

4. After a momentary pause, Windows will display a message informing you the card

can be safely removed.

5. You can now physically remove the card from the slot.
