back of your computer.
2. Remove the cover to access the internal
hardware of your computer.
3. Locate a free PCI Express slot and remove the
metal cover plate on the rear of the computer
case. (Your new USB 3.0 Host Adapter will fit
and work with any PCI Express slot whether it
is a x1, x4, x8 or x16 slot. Performance may
vary with each slot.)
4. When installing the USB 3.0 Host Adapter, make
sure to fasten the bracket as documented in
your computer manufacturer’s documentation.
5. Be sure to connect the SATA power connector
from the power supply to the card as it does
require additional power to function properly.
6. Place the cover back onto your computer.
7. Reattach the power cable to your computer
and turn it back on.
