Quick Start / Front Panel USB-C/USB 3.0 with HD audio
EN
INTRODUCTION
A simple USB hub that allows you to bring the internal USB 3.0 to the
front of your PC through a 3.5” panel. There are two USB 3.0 and one
USB-C ports available as well as headphone output and microphone
input. The audio system is connected via a 9 pin HD AUDIO cable
compatible with AC'97 connectors (Audio Codec'97). The device
allows you to use these ports located on the front side of your
computer so that you will never have to look for USB 3.0 and USB-C
ports at the back. All these USB ports have a common maximum
transfer rate of 5 Gbps. Driver installation is not required for the front
panel functionality. The front panel supports Plug and Play as well as
Hot Swap features.
HARDWARE INSTALLATION
1) Connect the USB 3.0 connector of the front panel to the USB 3.0
port on the motherboard of your PC. The included 60 cm long USB 3.0
cable is long enough to connect the motherboard to the front panel.
2) Connect the power part of the SATA cable to the front panel and
connect the other end to the power supply of your PC.
3) Connect the HD AUDIO cable to the front panel board and then
connect it to the motherboard of your PC via the nine-pin connector.
4) Finally, fix the metal frame using screws to the front 3.5” position
on the front side of the PC.
