1. INTRODUCTION

The KanguruData Bank is a first of its kind, patent pending, storage device designed to simplify network data storage. Functioning as

either a network attached or direct attached storage device, the KanguruData Bank offers true plug and play ability with little or no need

for special configurations to connect it to your network. Just plug it into an existing USB or USB2.0 port!

Each KanguruData Bank starts with 80GB of internal drive space, which can easily be increased by inserting various capacity

KanguruDisks. Add massive amounts of storage with each KanguruDisk you insert.

Note1: In order to reach USB 2.0 speed, you must have a computer or host adapter card that has USB 2.0

support. This device will automatically sense the speed of your USB port and adjust between USB 1.1

and USB 2.0 speed. If you do not have USB 2.0 support, the device will work at USB 1.1 speeds.

Your Kanguru DataBank comes supplied with a PCI USB2.0 card. This card must be installed before

you use your DataBank if you want to reach maximum transfer speeds.

Note2: Kanguru DataBanks can be custom built to include CDRW, DVDRW, and Card Reader drives. If

your Databank has one of these custom drives, then follow the instructions for operating that

particular drive. If not, then disregard the custom drive instructions.

Note3: Depending on your system’s configuration, your Kanguru DataBank may conflict with your current

networked drives and cause the drives’ paths to be changed. For example, you computer connects to

drives E and F on your network, and when you plug in your DataBank these networked drives get

bumped to J and K. To avoid this change the Drive Letter and Path for each of the Kanguru Disks.

For example, change drives E:F:G:H to W:X:Y:Z. This ensures that networked drives E:F:G:H will

remain unchanged, and the Kanguru Disks will always show up as W:X:Y:Z.

2. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

Hardware:

Notebook or desktop computer with USB or USB2.0 port supported.

Operation system:

Win98SE, Win-ME, Win2000, Win XP, Mac OS 8.6 or above.

3. HARDWARE INSTALLATION

USB2.0 PCI Card / Combo Hub

Every DataBank comes supplied with a USB2.0 PCI card that is required to meet USB2.0 speeds. However, if you already have a

USB2.0 connection, then there is no need to install the supplied card. First insert your USB2.0 PCI card into a free PCI slot, and then

follow the Driver instructions below.

Installing USB 2.0 Drivers

Once the card is installed and the computer has restarted, Windows will detect the board

and attempt to load the drivers for it.

Installing USB 2.0 drivers in Windows 98

• Windows will detect a “NEC USB

Open Host Controller”. Click “Next.”

• Select “Search for the best driver for

your device.” Click “Next.”

• Uncheck all boxes in Figure 1. Click

“Next.”

• Windows has found an updated driver

for this device. Click “Next.” Then

Click “Next” again.

Figure 1

• The “Windows has finished installing

the software that your new hardware

device requires” dialog appears. Click

“Finish.”

• Repeat the above process for the

second NEC USB Open Host

Controller.

Figure 2

• After you have installed the two NEC

USB Open Host Controllers, Windows

will find a “PCI Universal Serial Bus”

device. Click “Next” to continue.

• Another dialog will appear. Select

“Display a list of all the drivers in a

specific location, so you can select the

driver you want”. Click “Next.”

• In the dialog that appears, highlight

“USB Controllers”. Click “Next.”

Figure3

• Click on the “Have Disk” button as

shown in figure 4.

• In the dialog that appears, click on the

“Browse” button.

• Navigate to the folder that contains

the USB 2.0 drivers. Click “OK.”

• A dialog will appear with “NEC PCI to

USB Enhanced Host Controller”

highlighted, click “Next” to continue.

Figure 4

• The “Windows driver file search for

the device” dialog appears with the

location of the driver. Click “Next” to

continue.

• The “Window has finished installing

the software that your new hardware

device requires” dialog appears. Click

“Finish.”

• Restart Windows. Figure 5

Finalizing USB 2.0 Hi-Speed hardware settings

USB 2.0 Hi-Speed products that use an NEC chipset have 3 USB host controller engines on

board. Two of the host controller engines handle USB 1.1 transactions. One of the host

controllers engines handle, USB 2.0 transactions.

USB data traffic is automatically routed to the proper host controller engine depending on the

speed of the device that is plugged into the USB 2.0 port. This essentially creates 3 concurrent

USB buses. These USB buses allow devices to run in a less congested traffic environment. This

helps devices such as color printers, scanners, video cameras and mass storage devices, which

require a high bandwidth, to work well together.

The NEC PCI to USB Enhanced Host Controller driver handles USB 2.0 Hi-Speed (480 Mbits/s)

traffic. The two NEC PCI to USB Open Host Controllers handle Full-Speed (12 Mb/s) and Low-

Speed (1.5 Mb/s) traffic.

Check your Windows System/Device Manager to confirm proper

installation of USB 2.0 Hi-Speed drivers:

NEC PCI to USB Enhanced Host Controller

NEC PCI to USB Open Host Controller

USB Root Hub

Connecting the Kanguru DataBank

1.) Boot-up your computer and make sure the USB / USB2.0

port device driver has been installed and is available in operating system.

2.) Plug the USB2.0 cable into the USB2.0 Port of computer.

3.) Plug the AC power cord to the inlet of your Kanguru DataBank and

power on the DataBank. Your Kanguru DataBank will be ready to use.

4.) Follow the Software Installation as seen below.

NOTE:

Labeling your Kanguru Disks

One of features of the Kanguru DataBank is that the Kanguru Disks are hot swappable. This feature allows you to

take any of the Kanguru Disks out while the DataBank is still operating, and replace it at a later time. When you

want to remove a disk you have to disconnect it from the OS first. We highly recommend that users label their

Kanguru Disk both internally and externally. By internally we are suggesting that you change the label of the

drive. You can change a drive’s label by going into DEVICE MANAGER, and then into DISK MANAGEMENT.

From here you can right click on the drive that you want to rename, then select PROPERTIES. This is where

you can change the name of the drive. For example, if you were using a Kanguru Disk as an email backup, you

may want to rename the drive “EMAIL.” So after renaming your drives internally you need a way to tell which

Kanguru Disks are which. For this we suggest labeling the Kanguru Disks separately with the labels that are

provided with the DataBank.

This labeling system is very important for Kanguru Disk management. Without both labels, drives can easily be

mistaken for one another, which could result in removing the wrong KanguruDisk from the DataBank. This

could be especially undesirable in a network environment if someone is accessing the drive which is being

removed.
