How to use

Power down the PC, open the case and install the card into an available PCIe x4 (or x8/x16) slot. Secure the bracket and, if needed, replace the full-height bracket with the provided low-profile bracket for compact cases. Connect the internal 20-pin cable to a compatible front-panel USB 3.1/3.2 Type-C module and attach the SATA power connector from the system power supply to the card to ensure adequate power. Close the case, power on the system and install any required drivers supported by your operating system.

Recommendations

Use the built-in SATA power connector when connecting high-power USB devices and verify the front-panel module is compatible with a 20-pin Key-A internal header. For best performance, install the card in a PCIe x4 or higher slot and ensure system drivers are up to date.
