Introduction
The PCIUSB3S22/PCIUSB3S4 2/4-Port PCI to SuperSpeed USB 3.0 Card, with SATA
power, 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). Using USB 3.0 devices with
this card will increase data transfers, with up to 1.3 Gbps of available bandwidth (PCI
bus limit), more than double the performance versus USB 2.0. With optional power
connectors, each USB port can provide up to 900mA of power to connected USB 3.0
devices, ensuring sucient power for the most power hungry devices. Backward
compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.x devices, this versatile PCI USB 3.0 card will work with
any 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. Backed by a StarTech.com lifetime warranty and free lifetime
technical support.

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 (see documentation for your computer
system for details).
3. Locate an open PCI slot and remove the metal cover plate on the rear of the
computer case (refer to documentation for your computer system for details).
NOTE: If installing the card into a small form factor/low prole system, replacing the
pre-installed full prole bracket with the included low prole installation bracket may
be necessary.
4. Gently insert the card into the open PCI slot and fasten the bracket to the rear of
the case.
5. OPTIONAL: Connect SATA power or SP4 Floppy (PCIUSB3S4 only) power connector
from the computer power supply to the card. This is recommended to ensure
enough power can be supplied to high-powered USB devices.
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.
