전력 고려 사항

This is a bus-powered hub, meaning it draws power directly from your computer's USB port. While suitable for most low-power devices like flash drives, keyboards, and mice, it may not provide sufficient power for high-power devices such as certain external spinning hard drives. If you experience issues with high-power devices, consider connecting them directly to your computer's USB port or using a self-powered hub.

6. 유지관리

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your Anker AH401 USB hub, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• 허브를 깨끗하게 유지하려면 부드럽고 마른 천으로 닦아주세요. 액체 세척제나 용제 사용은 피하십시오.
• 허브는 직사광선과 극한의 온도를 피해 서늘하고 건조한 곳에 보관하세요.
• 허브 위에 무거운 물건을 올려놓거나 물리적인 충격을 가하지 마십시오.
• Ensure the USB cable is not bent sharply or tangled, which could damage the internal wiring.

7. 문제 해결

If you encounter issues with your Anker AH401 USB hub, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:

Issue: Devices are not recognized or disconnect randomly.

• 해결책 1: Ensure the hub's integrated USB cable is securely connected to your computer's USB port.
• 해결책 2: Disconnect and reconnect the hub from your computer.
• 해결책 3: 허브를 컴퓨터의 다른 USB 포트에 연결해 보십시오.
• 해결책 4: If using high-power devices (e.g., external hard drives), connect them directly to your computer's USB port or consider a self-powered USB hub.
• 해결책 5: Update your computer's USB 3.0 host controller drivers. For example, some systems with Renesas USB 3.0 host controllers may require a manual driver update.

Issue: Data transfer speeds are slower than expected (e.g., USB 2.0 speeds).

• 해결책 1: Ensure the hub is connected to a USB 3.0 port on your computer. USB 3.0 ports are often blue or marked with 'SS'.
• 해결책 2: Verify that the connected device itself is a USB 3.0 device. USB 2.0 devices will operate at USB 2.0 speeds even when connected to a USB 3.0 hub.
• 해결책 3: Update your computer's USB 3.0 host controller drivers.

Issue: Mouse or keyboard performance becomes choppy when multiple devices are connected.

• 해결책: This can occur if multiple data-intensive devices are connected to the hub, exceeding the bandwidth of the single USB port it's connected to. Try connecting high-bandwidth devices directly to separate USB ports on your computer.
