INSTALLATION

The Host Adapter

The PRIMUX HA Host Adapter is designed to support PS/2, SUN and USB CPUs, as well as serial-controlled servers and
devices (see chart below). Host Adapters may be connected to or removed from a CPU without powering down the CPU, provided
the CPU and operating system supports device hot plugging. (Operating systems known to support hot-plugging include Windows
2000 SP3 and higher, Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Linux. )
