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
