When attaching additional modules to the BusStation"', there is
no need to power down your computer, or unplug the
Note on Power Consumption
USB specifies that each port can only draw a maximum of 500 mA
of electrical current. If a device draws more than that amount, the
Bus Station's built-in "Overcurrent Protection" will shut off that
port, and prevent damage to the device and the Bus Station.
When you first purchase the BusStation'", it is essentially a 7 port
hub. At 500 mA for each port, that's a total of 3.5 A current.
The included power supply provides 4.0 A, which is more than
enough.
Replacing the one-port modules with other non-hub modules
poses no power issues. However, if you decide to add a 4-port
hub module, you must provide that 4-port hub with additional
power. When you purchase a 4-port hub module, it will include a
2.1 A power supply necessary for each port to provide 500 mA of
current. Simply plug the supplied adapter into the rear of the
2.1 A power adapter to the 4-port hub module, each port on that
Usually, only low-power devices such as mice and keyboards will
run at 100 mA. More complex devices such as scanners, modems,
and additional hubs require the full 500 mA of current.
Note: Modules should only be.added starting from the,,:,
4 Port Hub base of the module working your way up.
1. Remove the sleeve from the USB module following the instructions in
Figure 5.
2.
Place the module you wish to add in the first empty slot directly
above the 4 Port hub.
3.
Do not force the module into the BusStation".
As you slide the module into the BusStation'" it should securely lock
onto the guide track of the one below it.
4.
Gently slide the module into the BusStation'" bay until you hear a
solid click. (See Figure 6)
5.
The modules should fit evenly on top of one another.
6. Follow the installation instructions of the USB module you attached
to the BusStation'".
7.
Your computer will instantly recognize that you connected a USB
