small end of the included USB cable to the USB
port on Mbox 2 and connect the other end to
any available USB port on your computer.
If the USB LED on the front panel of the
Mbox 2 does not illuminate, try unplugging
the USB cable from the Mbox 2 USB port,
and plugging it back in. If the USB LED still
does not illuminate, shut down the com-
puter, disconnect Mbox 2 and start the
computer. Once the computer has fully re-
started, reconnect Mbox 2.
Mbox 2 may not function properly if con-
nected to a USB hub. If you need to use a
hub for other USB peripherals, connect the
hub to a separate USB port; Mbox 2 must be
connected to a dedicated port on the com-
puter in order to function properly.
