Instruction Manual

Introduction

The PCIUSB3S2 2-Port PCI SuperSpeed USB 3.0 Adapter Card allows for legacy PCI slots

to support the USB 3.0 standard, which is capable of data transfer rates up to 5 Gbps

(10x faster than USB 2.0 at 480 Mbps). This allows for full use of the PCI bus at 1.3 Gbps,

allowing older systems double the performance with USB 3.0 versus using USB 2.0

cards and peripherals. Also being backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.x devices,

this versatile adapter card will work with future USB 3.0 devices while still being able to

support older devices.

Designed for older PCI-based systems or computers with only PCI expansion slots left

available, this adapter card allows those systems to stay relevant and up-to-date with

the latest USB technology.

Instruction Manual

Installation

WARNING! PCI 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 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 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. Refer to documentation for your

computer system for details.

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

computer case.

4. Insert the card into the open PCI or PCI-X slot and fasten the card’s 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. Connect an 4-pin LP4 power connector from the system power supply to the LP4

connector on the rear edge of the card. This ensures all ports have full power.

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.
