We started out by downloading the driver from the internet. This is something we always recommend because it ensures you get the latest drivers. The ones on the installation CDs are usually six months old. As with most USB products you install the driver first and then plug in the device. In this case the Flash USB drive comes with an external extension cable which we plugged in to our USB hub.
Most computers have the USB inputs on the back.
This would prove to be somewhat of a pain to have to reach under your desk every time you want to plug in this device. It is nice the company included the extension cable. In other devices such as a laptop computer, it works ok because the USB connectors are on the side. The same goes for USB hubs or ports built into monitors. If you have none of these, go to your local computer shop and buy a USB cable extender.
