InLine 3+1ports USB 3.0 host controller, PCIe, with SATA power and LP bracket

The InLine 76662C USB 3.0 Host Controller is a low-profile PCIe expansion card that adds three external Type-A USB 3.0 (USB 3.1/3.2 Gen 1) ports and one internal Type-A port to a PCI-Express-enabled computer. Based on the VIA VL805 chipset, the card supports SuperSpeed USB data rates up to 5 Gb/s and remains backward compatible with USB 2.0 devices. A SATA power connector and a low-profile bracket are included for installation in compact systems.

Advantages

This PCIe USB 3.0 card provides up to four additional USB ports (3 external, 1 internal) with SuperSpeed transfer rates up to 5 Gb/s and support for both Bulk Only Transfer (BOT) and USB Attached SCSI Protocol (UASP) modes. It complies with PCI Express and xHCI specifications, is plug-and-play compatible, and supports standard and low-profile enclosures. Each USB 3.0 port can supply up to 5 V / 900 mA when the card is connected to a power source.

How to use

Power off the computer and unplug it from the mains. Open the case and insert the card into an available PCI Express x1 slot (or x4/x8/x16 slot supporting x1). If required, attach the low-profile bracket for small enclosures. Connect the SATA power cable to the card if additional port power is needed. Close the case, power on the system and allow the operating system to detect the new hardware. Install drivers from the included CD or download updated drivers from the manufacturer's website. After driver installation the external and internal USB ports are ready for use.

Recommendations

Do not use the third-party website 'Drivers-Download' referenced in the printed manual; this site is unrelated to the manufacturer and has been misused for phishing. Instead, obtain drivers from the InLine website or trusted sources. Ensure the card's SATA power connector is attached when powering high-draw USB devices to provide stable 5V/900mA output per port.
