Hiding your Catalyst Dongle

[Mr_P]

We supply the Sonnet Allegro USB card in all our server builds and have never seen one of the external ports disabled when dongle is connected to the internal port...

Which card are you using?

It could either be a faulty card or over current with the device you are connecting to the external port.

See the attached picture. I have been using beaded chain on my Dongles. This works well since I put the attachment part inside the machine. Obviously someone could cut it but my machines are usually in racks and locations where this is not likely.

I love the USB Card, especially since I'll used USB to serial devices, USB Midi, and USB Audio. However, I have a few machines I have put as many as three Phoenix, three LFG4 Cards, or a combination with a RAID card. All which prevents me from being able to add the extra USB Cards.
