3. Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to properly install your vertical stand:

1. Prepare your Xbox Series X: Ensure your Xbox Series X console is powered off and disconnected from all cables.
2. Position the Stand: Place the AKNES Vertical Stand on a stable, flat surface where you intend to keep your console. Ensure the non-slip mats on the base are making full contact with the surface.
3. Mount the Console: Carefully align your Xbox Series X console with the stand. The console should fit snugly into the stand's designated slot. Gently lower the console onto the stand until it is firmly fixed. This is a tool-free, clip-on installation.
4. Connect the USB Cable: Locate the integrated USB cable on the back of the stand. Connect this cable to an available USB port on your Xbox Series X console. This connection powers the 4-port USB hub and the blue LED lighting.
5. Connect Accessories (Optional): You can now connect up to four USB 2.0 accessories (such as external hard drives, controllers, or charging cables for smartphones) to the USB ports on the front of the stand.
6. Power On: Reconnect all other necessary cables to your Xbox Series X console (power, HDMI, etc.) and power it on. The blue LED light on the stand will illuminate, indicating the USB hub is active.

4. Operating Instructions

Once the stand is set up, operating it is straightforward:

• USB Hub Functionality: The 4 USB 2.0 ports on the front of the stand become active when the stand is connected to your Xbox Series X console's USB port and the console is powered on. These ports can be used for data transfer, connecting controllers, or charging devices.
• Blue LED Indicator: The blue ambient lighting around the base of the stand indicates that the USB hub is receiving power and is operational. This light will typically remain on as long as the console is providing power to the USB port.
• Power Source: The USB hub draws power directly from the Xbox Series X console's USB port. No external power supply is required for the stand or its USB ports.
