Using a USB hub
• Use only self-powered USB hubs (self-powered hubs supply their own power via
an AC adapter). (A bus-powered USB hub may not work with this device.)
• Use USB 2.0 (Hi-Speed USB) hubs with this device. (A USB 1.1 hub may not
work with this device.)

Connecting two P2 drives in Windows XP and Windows Vista
Connect the USB 2.0 (SIGNAL) connectors on the two P2 drives directly to the
USB ports on the personal computer. If both of the P2 drives appear as "Panasonic
P2 Series USB Device" when you select "Safe Hardware Removal" in the task tray,
the device driver is applied. If one of the P2 drives appears as "USB Mass Storage
Device", the device driver is not applied. In this case, refer to the installation
manual and install the device driver again.
If the problem persists after reinstallation, it is recommended to use only one P2
drive.
◆
NOTE:
• If the USB 2.0 (SIGNAL) connectors on the two P2 drives are connected to the
USB hub, the P2 drives may not be recognized, the device driver may not be
applied, and other problems may occur.
