Introduction

The ECUSB3S1 Flush Mount 1-Port USB 3.0 ExpressCard Adapter uses a unique form

factor design that allows it to sit fully in a standard 34mm laptop ExpressCard slot without

sticking out; the port sits ﬂush with the sides of the laptop, creating a seamless addon

that can be left installed, even while on the move, without fear that it will get snagged or

hit against which could cause damage to the card or slot.

The USB 3.0 ExpressCard supports data transfer rates up to 5Gbps, and is still

backward compatible with USB 2.0 devices at up to 480Mbps, or USB 1.1/1.0 at up to

12/1.5 Mbps respectively.

Installation

Hardware Installation

ExpressCard adapters can be hot-plugged into a computer system, while running.

Turning the computer off to insert/remove ExpressCard adapters should not be

necessary.

The ExpressCard adapter will simply slide into the ExpressCard slot on any compatible

system, label side up. Push the card all the way in, until it ‘clicks’ and locks into place. To

eject the card, simply push the card further into the slot until it clicks, and then release

and it will then be automatically ejected from the slot.

OPTIONAL: For some high-powered USB 3.0 devices, additional power may be required.

Connect the USB to DC adapter cable from a USB port on the computer system to the

DC plug on the card. This will provide additional power to the USB 3.0 port.
