Installation

3. Open My Computer and right-click the icon for your CD-ROM. Choose Explore.

5. Once your system reboots, insert the USB 2.0 card into the CardBus slot. Windows will detect the new hardware and configure the card automatically.

Windows 2000/XP/2003 Server and Mac OS X

Windows 2000/XP/2003 Server and Mac OS X all include native support for USB 2.0 and will install the drivers automatically when the card is inserted in the CardBus slot. Ensure you have all the current Service Packs and updates installed.

NOTE: You may wish to use the included USB power cable included with the card if you will be connecting self-powered devices that have high power requirements. If you receive an 'insufficient power' message from your operating system when using a device, connect the cable to an available USB port integrated on your notebook and the opposite end to the power connector on the front of the CB420USB.

Connecting Devices to Your USB Card

When you install a USB device to one of your USB ports, Windows will automatically detect it and you will be prompted to install the drivers for the device. If you ever plug this device into a different port on your USB 2.0 card, you will be prompted to install the drivers again. If possible, you should plug the device into each port on your USB card and install the drivers for each port the first time your connect your peripheral. Later on, with the drivers already installed for each port, you can unplug and move your USB 2.0 devices around your card without having to worry about finding your driver disk.

Safely Removing the USB 2.0 Card

While the card can be removed with the computer running and Windows started (a process commonly referred to as "hot-plugging"), Windows does offer a "safe removal" feature that ensures that the card is inactive before it is removed from the CardBus slot. It is strongly recommended that you follow this procedure when removing the card from a computer to avoid data loss or equipment damage.

To use the safe removal feature:

1. Locate the hardware ejection icon in the System Tray (next to the clock).
2. Left click the icon once to activate the device menu.
3. Highlight the card from the list and click it once.
4. After a momentary pause, Windows will display a message informing you the card can be safely removed.
5. You can now physically remove the card from the slot.
