How to use

Install the panel into an empty 3.5" front bay of a desktop case using the supplied screws or standard mounting points. Connect the internal USB 3.0 cable to an available USB 3.0 header on the motherboard or to a compatible internal USB 3.0 adapter. Insert a 2.5" SSD or HDD into the docking slot and plug any additional USB devices into the extra USB 3.0 port. The system should recognise connected devices automatically when powered on.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, connect the internal cable to a USB 3.0 header on the motherboard and use quality USB 3.0 cables and drives. Avoid inserting 3.5" drives into the docking slot — it is intended only for 2.5" SSDs/HDDs. Ensure the panel is securely mounted to prevent movement during drive insertion or removal.
