Before You Begin
To use your Adaptec
XHub4
®
, you need:
■A PC-compatible notebook or desktop computer with:
■A 266-MHz or faster processor
■Windows®XP or Windows 2000 (see page 3 for
Windows Me/Windows 98SE information)
■An available USB port

About USB 2.0 Performance
For your XHub4 and USB 2.0 devices to operate at USB 2.0
speeds, the XHub4 must be connected to a USB 2.0 port,
and USB 2.0 drivers with hub support must be installed on
your computer.
If your computer does not have a built-in USB 2.0 port,
Adaptec recommends connecting your XHub4 to an
Adaptec USB 2.0 adapter for the highest-quality USB 2.0
connection.
Note:
USB 1.1 devices won’t operate at USB 2.0 speeds,
even if they’re connected to a USB 2.0 hub or adapter.

Troubleshooting
If you have problems using your XHub4 or USB devices,
work through this list of troubleshooting suggestions:
■Ensure that all cables are properly and fully connected.
■Ensure that the XHub4 is connected to a power source,
and that the power source is turned on.
Note: If you disconnect the power source while
the XHub4 is in use, the hub will stop working.
To reset the hub, disconnect it from the USB port
on your computer, then plug it back in and
reconnect the power source.
■Ensure that your USB devices are powered on.
■Ensure that USB 2.0 device drivers are installed on
your computer. See Installing Device Drivers on page 3
for more information.
■Ensure that drivers for your USB devices have been
properly installed. Refer to your devices’
documentation for instructions.
■If you have more than one available USB port on your
computer, try plugging the XHub4 into a different
port.
