3.2 System Installation
The screen capture shown in Figure 3-1 is taken from a Windows

98 installation.
Your particular operating system may differ slightly from what is shown, based on
your version of Windows.
The USB Hub can be connected to any upstream type A port either at the PC host
or an upstream hub. The USB Hub is hot pluggable, meaning that you don’t have
to power down your computer before installation.
Connect the USB Hub to an upstream host or hub.
The New Hardware Found wizard will now locate the appropriate drivers. These
drivers were installed during the software setup procedure. Once the drivers are
found, a new window will pop up indicating the installation of each of the four
new ports.
If you view the Device Manager, you should have new COM ports in the Ports
(COM & LPT) device class; this is shown in Figure 3-1.
