Connecting USB Devices
You can connect standard USB 1.1 or high-speed USB 2.0 devices to
the connectors of the DuoConnect adapter, as shown below.
Hotplugging
The DuoConnect adapter supports hot-plugging, allowing USB
devices to be attached and recognized while the computer is on.
Device manufacturers support hot-plugging in different ways.
Refer to the instructions for each device for attaching and mounting
recommendations.
Note:
Moving a device from one adapter connector to another
can cause the operating system to initiate a new hardware
installation process. Refer to the
Readme
file for details.
Hubs
The following figure shows the recommended configuration for
connecting USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 devices. Note that you could
