Installation
If in doubt about how to install the device correctly, please contact an
EXPERT or a specialist workshop and let them do the installation!
Incorrect installation can damage both the plug-in card and the com-
puter, along with all connected devices.
Caution, Danger!
Switch off the computer in which the plug-in card is to be installed
and disconnect all devices from the mains voltage, remove the plug
from the mains! Just turning off at the on/off switch is not enough!
• Open your computer's housing and carefully remove the cover.
• Locate a free PCI Express slot, remove this slot's cover and insert the card into the
PCI Express slot. Screw in the plug-in card firmly, and check that it sits correctly in
the PCI slot!
For the installation of the plug-in card in a flat computer case, a low-profile
slot bracket is provided. Remove the long slot bracket from the plug-in card
and then install the short low-profile slot bracket.
• Connect a SATA power connection on your PC power adaptor to the appropriate
connection on the plug-in card. Pay attention to the correct orientation of the SATA
connector and do not use any force.
If the SATA power supply is not connected to the plug-in card, all con-
nected UBS devices will not function!
• To the internal USB3.0 port of the plug-in card you can e.g. connect a correspon-
ding connection cable of your computer case.
• If necessary, fix the cable with cable ties so that it cannot obstruct the fan of your
computer.
• Replace the computer case.
• Connect your computer and monitor to the mains voltage and switch on all devices.
• If your computer does not start correctly, switch it off immediately and check all the
settings and cable connections.
It must be disconnected from the mains power supply before restarting,
see above!

Connecting USB devices to the plug-in card
• USB2.0/1.1 devices
It is possible, of course, to operate all „old" USB2.0/1.1 devices with a USB3.0 port.
Simply connect the USB device to one of the two USB ports on the plug-in card.
Use conventional USB2.0/1.1 connection cables to connect the devices.
Normally, USB2.0/1.1 devices do not become faster when operated on a USB3.0
port. However, if the USB2.0 controller on the motherboard works relatively slowly
it is possible, for example, that USB2.0 hard disks can transfer data faster via a
USB3.0 port on the plug-in card.
• USB3.0 devices
In order to connect, a USB3.0 device is to be connected to the controller, a USB3.0
cable is necessary. At the first glance, the USB-A plug looks similar to a USB2.0/1.1
plug, however, it has additional internal connector pins.
The USB-B plug on a USB3.0 cable has a different shape.
A USB3.0 hard disk enclosure can also be operated on a USB3.0/2.0/1.1 port via a
conventional USB2.0/1.1 cable. A faster data transfer is not possible.
In order to use the fast data transfer of USB3.0, not only a USB3.0 controller is
necessary but also a USB3.0 device and an appropriate USB3.0 cable.
USB3.0 provides a theoretical data transfer of 3GBit (approx. 6000MByte/s). The
practical transfer speed depends on the devices involved in the data transfer (inter-
nal and external hard disk), the type of data (many small files or few large files) and
many other factors.

At the time of issuing this operating manual, the driver was located as
installation program in the directory „USB 3.0 Host" and there, in the folder
„NEC".
Start the file manager of Windows and start the installation program loca-
ted in the above mentioned directory.
A restart of Windows might be required after that, before the USB3.0 ports
of the plug-in card function properly.
Important:
The SATA power supply of the plug-in card must be connected to a corres-
ponding connector of your PC's mains supply.
Otherwise, the USB devices connected to the plug-in card will not be recog-
nised correctly!
