My device is not recognized. How can I get the system to recognize
my device?
The USB
Xchange
is designed to receive its power from either the
termination power line of the attached SCSI devices or, if not
present, from the USB bus. In some cases, especially when using
unpowered USB hubs with attached SCSI devices which do not
supply SCSI termination power, the USB bus cannot supply the
needed power for the USB
Xchange
to operate. In these cases, you
may need an external DC power adapter. See
USBXchange Power
Supply
on page 13 (PC) or
USBXchange Power Supply
on page 20
(Mac) for more information.
The SCSI devices must be powered on before the system
acknowledges the USB
Xchange
. Power on all SCSI devices and plug
back into your Macintosh or desktop PC.
Verify that the drivers are installed on your computer.
If you are using a hub, we recommend using self-powered hubs.
My SCSI peripheral has a different connector than the one provided
on the USBXchange. How can I correct this problem?
