How to use

Insert the unit into an available 3.5" drive bay in the PC chassis and secure it according to the case manufacturer’s instructions. Connect the cable from the front panel to the motherboard’s internal USB pin header, ensuring correct orientation of the connector. After installation, power on the system and verify that the operating system recognises the ports; install any necessary drivers for full functionality on Windows or Linux if required.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, ensure the motherboard provides the required USB pin header and that the internal connector is seated firmly. Avoid forcing the connector or using adapters that are not specified for internal USB headers. Use the Type-C ports for modern devices and Type-A ports for legacy peripherals to maximise compatibility.
