==========
3.1 Notes:
==========
- Do not attempt to put the system into standby or hibernation
during data transfer (I/O activity) with a USB device.
- The first time a USB device is plugged into a USB port, the
system may prompt you to locate the driver for that USB
device and request a restart.
- Please check your device manufacturer's web site for the latest
updates to their software.
=========================
3.2 Troubleshooting Info:
=========================
- If you attempt to put the system into standby or hibernation
during data transfer (I/O activity) with a USB device, you may
experience problems with your system. Please do not attempt to
put the system into standby or hibernation during I/O activity
with a USB device.
- When using Windows Me, the Device Manager will have a green
question mark next to any USB 2.0 device which is connected
to an Adaptec USB 2.0 card. The device will continue to
function properly.
- When using Windows 98SE, the Adaptec USB 2.0 driver may prevent
some systems from entering into standby mode.
- The system may report that a USB 2.0 CD-RW connected to an
Adaptec AUA-2000LP card does not contain any media when
resuming from a suspend. To workaround this issue, use the
"unplug or eject hardware" icon in the system to remove the
USB 2.0 CD-RW. Unplug the USB 2.0 CD-RW from the card, and
then plug it back in.
- If you unplug/re-plug a device too quickly, the system may
not recognize the USB device. To workaround this issue, allow
at least 3 seconds between a unplug and re-plug.
- Removing two or more devices using the "unplug or eject"
hardware icon (on the system tray): Use the "unplug or eject"
icon to remove one device, then physically remove the device,
before attempting to use the "unplug or eject" icon to remove
other devices. If you attempt to remove more than one device
using the "unplug or eject icon," physically removing a USB
device will cause the other devices to re-enumerate.
- When using Windows 2000, with certain CD-RW applications
running, the system may stall if a USB CD-RW drive is
removed using the "unplug or eject hardware" icon in the
system tray.
- Before making any changes through the device manager to enable
or disable the Adapter Enhanced Host Controller, stop all USB
devices connected to the Adaptec host bus adapter or CardBus and
remove the USB devices from the system.
- When connect to an Adaptec USB 2.0 Hub, Creative USB 1.1 webcams,
may not re-enumerate if you put the system into standby mode.
To workaround this issue, unplug and re-plug the webcam.
- When using an HP PSC-750 printer/scanner/copier, we recommend
connecting the device directly to your USB card or built-in
USB port rather than through a Hub.
- When using the Adaptec AUA-1420 CardBus card, Adaptec USB 2.0
drivers, and the Xircon Ethernet CardBus card, with Windows 2000,
the ethernet card may not work properly. This will be addressed
in a future release of our drivers.
