When attaching devices that do not supply their own power,attach an external power supply to the FireConnect for Notebooksadapter; use a power adapter with 12-V, 1.5-A DC output.Daisy-Chain ConnectionsYou can connect up to 62 devices in a daisy chain. All devices in thedaisy chain must supply their own power. Non-self-powereddevices may be attached using a separate FireConnect for Notebooksadapter port.If you disconnect a daisy-chained device while the computer andother devices are powered on, the devices that come after thedisconnected device on the daisy chain may malfunction until thecomputer is rebooted. To avoid this problem Use a separate port on the FireConnect for Notebooks adapterfor the hot-plugged device. Attach the hot-plugged device at the far end of the cable fromthe FireConnect for Notebooks adapter. Use a hub (or repeater).
