Installation
If you do not have thorough knowledge on the installation of this product, have the
installation carried out by a professional or in a specialist shop!
Incorrect installation of the product will cause damage to the product, your computer
and all connected devices.
Turn off the computer in which you wish to mount the card and all connected devices,
and disconnect all devices from the power supply, unplug all power cables! Simply
turning off the devices using the on/off switch does not mean a device is voltage-free!
• Open your computer's case and remove the lid carefully.
• Locate a free PCIe slot, remove its slot bracket and insert the USB card into the PCIe slot. Fasten
the USB card in place using screws (your computer case may feature a screwless brackets).
A short slot bracket is included with item no. 1211116 and 1211117 for installation in a
flat computer case. Remove the long sloth bracket from the card and then mount the
short slot bracket.
• Connect the USB card power connector to a suitable power plug on your PC power adapter.
If your PC power adapter does not have a free suitable power plug, a suitable adapter
is required (not included).
• With item no. 1211117, the internal USB 3.0 port can me connected to a corresponding connec-
tion cable in your computer case.
If your computer case does not have an internal USB 3.0 connection, you can connect a
USB 2.0 cable to the USB card's internal USB 3.0 port (in this case, USB 2.0 data transfer
rate is the maximum possible).
Make sure that the cables do not come into contact with the computer fan, use e.g.
cable ties to fasten them.
• Reclose your computer's case.
• Connect your computer and monitor to the power supply and turn on all devices.
• If your computer does not start up normally, turn it off immediately and check all settings and
cable connections.

Tips and notes
Important:
It is necessary to connect the USB card's power supply to a suitable connector on your
PC power adapter. Otherwise, USB devices connected to the USB devices will not be
identified properly!
• USB2.0/1.1-Geräte
A USB 3.0 port also supports "old" USB 2.0/1.1 devices. Simply connect the USB device to one
of the USB ports on the card.
Use USB 2.0/1.1 connection cables to connect USB 2.0/1.1 devices.
USB 2.0/1.1 devices will not work faster when operated from a USB 3.0 port. If the USB 2.0 con-
troller on the mainboard, however, works slowly, it might for example be possible for USB 2.0
hard disks connected to a USB 3.0 port on the USB card to transfer data at a higher speed.
• USB 3.0 devices
A USB 3.0 cable is required to connect USB 3.0 devices to the card. A USB 3.0 plug may look a
great deal like a USB 2.0/1.1 plug, however it has additional connecting components.
A USB B plug on a USB 3.0 cable has a different form.
A USB 3.0 hard disk case may be operated from a USB 3.0/2.0/1.1 port using a USB 2.0/1.1 cable.
However, a high data transfer rate is not possible in this case.
In order to take advantage of the high USB 3.0 data transfer rate, a USB 3.0 controller is required
in addition to a USB 3.0 end device and a suitable USB 3.0 cable.
In theory, USB 3.0 offers a data transfer speed of 5 Gbit (about 600 Mbyte/s). However, the ac-
tual speed reached during operation will depend on the devices transferring data (internal and
external hard drive), the type of data (many small files or few large files) and many other factors.
Each of the USB card's USB 3.0 ports supplies an output current of 900 mA.
Disposal
Electrical and electronic devices do not belong in your household waste.
At the end of its service life, dispose of the product in accordance with applicable
regulatory guidelines.
