Thank you for purchasing a StarTech.com laptop-sized USB 2.0 4-port hub. With the

StarTech.com ST4200MINI 4-port hub, you can plug in your most demanding next-

generation peripherals and still enjoy data transfer speeds of up to 480 Mbits/sec. And

since the ST4200MINI is backwards-compatible with USB 1.1 specifications, your less

demanding peripherals will still function perfectly with no adjustments. The hub’s

compact, “pocket”-sized design means you can take it with you anywhere, and since the

hub can get power from the USB port, the hub works great with laptops.

Features

• Complies with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 specifications

• Supports both bus-powered and self-powered mode

• Provides four downstream (Type A Female, connects to devices) and one upstream

(Type A Male, connects to computer) ports

• Supports Plug and Play specifications

• Connects up to 127 USB 2.0 devices (daisy-chained)

• Backed by StarTech.com’s one-year warranty

Before You Begin

To ensure a quick and easy device installation, please read through this section carefully

before attempting to install the device.

System Requirements

• IBM-compatible Pentium-233 MHz or faster PC running Windows XP, 2000, Me, 98SE

or Mac computer running OS X or higher

• 64 MB of RAM or higher

• An open USB 2.0 port

WARNING! The device must be installed and operated in an environment with

temperatures between 32-104ºF (0-40ºC). Make sure that the hub is kept away from

heating sources. Do not place any objects on top of the device. Make sure that no water

or moisture enters the unit. If necessary, use a dehumidifier to reduce humidity near the

device.

Package Contents

• 1 x USB 2.0 4-port mini-hub

IInnssttaallllaattiioonn

1. With your computer turned on, plug the mini hub into an open USB 2.0 port.

2. Your computer will automatically detect the device and install the drivers

automatically.

3. If you are using several high-powered devices, you may need to use the power

adapter. Plug the adapter into the DC power port on the side of the device and plug

the other end into an available power source.

Checking Proper Installation

On Windows systems, you can check Device Manager to ensure that your hub has been

installed successfully. Under the Universal Serial Bus heading, you should see “Generic

USB Hub” (or similar). If installed correctly, there should be no question or exclamation

marks beside the device name.

NOTE: In Windows Me, the device may have a green question mark beside its name.

This is only because Windows Me can not identify the USB’s brand name. This will not

affect the device function.

In Mac systems, go to “Apple System Profiler\Devices and Volumes\USB” to verify

installation.

Over Current Status

If you are powering the hub through the USB bus and are using several high-current

devices, you may exceed the current limit. If the current limit is exceeded, the hub will

disconnect power from the related port (the port’s LED will also go out). If you have

exceeded the current limitation, plug in the hub’s optional power adapter.

If you are using Windows, you may see a pop-up window telling you that the maximum

current has been exceeded. If you see this window, you can click the Reset button to

resume working. If no window appears, reset the hub by unplugging the USB cable then

plugging it back in.
