XHub for Notebooks User’s Guide
Installing USBControl
USBControl is a software utility that helps you easily manage your
USB peripherals. Using USBControl, you can find information on
device performance and status, and get detailed device
information and troubleshooting help.
To install USBControl, insert the XHub for Notebooks CD into your
CD-ROM and follow the on-screen instructions.
Note: USBControl runs with Adaptec USB 2.0 controllers, and
on Windows OSs only.
Plugging in Your Devices
Follow the picture below to connect your USB 1.1 and 2.0 devices
to your XHub for Notebooks. You can plug devices into any of the
four USB ports.
Note: USB 1.1 devices won’t operate at USB 2.0 speeds, even if
they’re connected to USB 2.0 hubs or controllers. Your XHub
must be connected to a USB 2.0 port for it and your USB 2.0
devices to operate at USB 2.0 speeds. (See USB 1.1 vs USB 2.0
on page 11 for more information, and Macintosh Operating
Systems on page 7 for special limitations for Macintosh users.)
