Installing your USB 3.0 PCI Express Card
System requirements
• PCI Express-enabled system with an available PCI Express x1 slot. (We
recommend PCI Express 2.0)
• Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7
Cautions:
• Opening your computer's case may void your computer's warranty. Contact your
computer's manufacturer before opening the case to make sure that you do not
void the warranty.
• Before touching any electronic components, make sure that you first touch an
unpainted, grounded metal object to discharge any static electricity stored on your
clothing or body.
• Handle the PCI Express Card adapter by the metal mounting bracket and the
printed circuit board (PCB) edges only. Avoid touching the gold-plated PCIe bus
and the onboard electronic components.
Note: In order to get USB 3.0 SuperSpeed performance, use a PCI Express Ver2.0 slot for
the card installation. Refer to the user manual for your system or motherboard to find
the correct slot.
To install the card:
1 Turn off your computer and unplug the power cord and all cables.
2 Remove your computer's case cover. See your computer's user guide for
information about removing the cover.
