Instruction Manual 1

Introduction

The ECUSB3S254F 2-Port Flush Mount USB 3.0 ExpressCard Adapter uses a unique

form factor design that allows it to sit fully in a standard 54mm laptop ExpressCard slot

without sticking out; the ports sit ush with the sides of the laptop, creating a seamless

add-on 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 SuperSpeed USB 3.0 Card supports data transfer rates up to 5 Gbps, and is still

backward compatible with USB 2.0 at up to 480 Mbps, or USB 1.1/1.0 at up to 12/1.5

Mbps respectively. This makes it the perfect accessory for laptops so users can connect

USB devices both new and old.

Installation

Hardware Installation

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

system. 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.

Turning the computer o to insert/remove ExpressCard adapters is not necessary as

they are hot-pluggable, however, ensure any USB peripherals are safely disconnected

before removing the ExpressCard adapter.

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

from the USB port. A power jack is provided for connecting the included USB to DC

Power Adapter Cable or an external power adapter (not included), to help support

such devices.
