Introduction

This StarTech.com SuperSpeed USB 3.0 adapter card enables you to access your data

and transfer les much faster than USB 2.0! The new USB 3.0 standard supports transfer

rates of up to 5Gbps, while still providing connectivity and support for the older

USB 2.0 (480Mbps) and 1.1 (12Mbps) devices. In addition to providing a much faster

transfer rate the USB 3.0 card can optionally supply up to 900mA of power per USB

port, allowing for more external devices to operate without the need of an external

power source.

Installation

WARNING! PCI Express cards, like all computer equipment, can be severely

damaged by static electricity. Be sure that you are properly grounded before

opening your computer case or touching your PCI Express card. StarTech.com

recommends that you wear an anti-static strap when installing any computer

component. If an anti-static strap is unavailable, discharge yourself of any

static electricity build-up by touching a large grounded metal surface (such

as the computer case) for several seconds. Also be careful to handle the PCI

Express card by its edges and not the gold connectors.

Hardware Installation

1. Turn your computer o and any peripherals connected to the computer (i.e. Printers,

external hard drives, etc.). Unplug the power cable from the rear of the power

supply on the back of the computer and disconnect all peripheral devices.

2. Remove the cover from the computer case. See documentation for your computer

system for details.

3. Locate an open PCI Express slot and remove the metal cover plate on the rear of the

computer case (Refer to documentation for your computer system for details.). Note

that this card will work in PCI Express slots of additional lanes (i.e. x4, x8 or x16 slots).

4. Insert the card into the open PCI Express slot and fasten the bracket to the rear of

the case.

NOTE: If installing the card into a small form factor/low prole system, replacing the

pre-installed full prole bracket with the included low prole installation bracket may

be necessary.

5. OPTIONAL: Connect an LP4 molex power connector from the computer’s power

supply to the LP4 connector on the card. This is only required if using the ports

with bus-powered USB devices (no external power adapter) or if experiencing

connectivity issues.

6. Place the cover back onto the computer case.

7. Insert the power cable into the socket on the power supply and reconnect all other

connectors removed in Step 1.
