Daisy-Chaining XHubs
If you want to add more USB 2.0 ports to your system, Adaptec
XHubs can be daisy-chained (linked in series). You can connect up
to five XHub for Notebooks hubs. (This is a USB limitation.)
To daisy-chain XHubs:
1 Connect a power adapter to each XHub. (See Plugging in Your
XHub on page 4 .)
2 Plug the first XHub’s USB cable into the USB port on your
computer.
3 Plug the next XHub’s USB cable into a USB port on the first
XHub. You can use any available USB port.
4 Repeat until all your XHubs are daisy-chained together.
