Software Installation NOTE: Never attempt to plug the USB adapter into an available USB port until the associated access-control software has been installed. Driver Installation Once software installation is completed, plug the Dallas DS2490 USB Adapter into a free USB socket. Do not attempt to use a USB hub interface. Driver installation occurs when the device is first detected by the system and not all USB hubs work reliably with the DS2490. For this reason, it is important to connect directly to a motherboard USB socket to ensure that the driver installation completes properly. If you mistakenly plugged the adapter in prior to software installation, see the section Uninstalling the DS2490 before proceeding. The driver installation process is determined by the version of Windows. Sample installation scenarios are presented below for Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows 7. For Windows Vista and Windows 2008 the steps are similar to that of Windows 7. WINDOWS 98 / WINDOWS ME When the DS2490 is inserted for the very first time, the Found New Hardware popup window will appear. After a brief interval correct identification of the USB device should take place. Once identified, the driver will load automatically and the adapter should be ready for use.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATION FOR USB INSTALLATION The following additional points are noted in the Dallas Semiconductor device driver documentation and maybe applicable in some cases. Unplug any 1-wire USB devices during installation to allow the device driver to be updated. If a 1-wire USB device has previously been used on the PC, the computer must be restarted after installation to recognize the new device driver. If the PC has never had a 1-wire USB device on it, plug it in right after installation to complete the USB install. If it is not recognized, then restart the computer and try again. If auto-detect cannot locate the USB device driver (DS2490.SYS), browse to it in C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers or C:\WINNT\system32\drivers. Dallas DS2490 USB Adapter Page 9 of 12
