If your case is slim, replace the full-height bracket with the included low-profile bracket. Connect the card to the PC power supply if you need to supply up to 900 mA to external USB 3.0 devices. After hardware installation, power on the system and allow the operating system to detect the card; it should operate as a plug-and-play USB controller if drivers are present or supported by the OS.

Recommendations

Use high-quality USB 3.0 cables for best SuperSpeed performance and connect the power lead when using bus-powered external drives to ensure reliable operation. Keep device drivers up to date and insert or remove devices while the system is powered on only when supported by your operating system to avoid data loss.
