Introduction  
10x faster than that of USB 2.0, this SuperSpeed USB 3.0 adapter card enables you to  
access your data and transfer files much faster than USB 2.0! The new USB 3.0 standard  
supports transfer rates of up to 5 Gbps, while still providing connectivity and support  
for the older USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) and 1.1 (12 Mbps) devices. In addition to providing a  
much faster transfer rate the PEXUSB3S2 USB 3.0 card also supplies 900 mA of power  
per USB port, allowing for more external devices to operate without the need of an  
external power source.

Installation  
WARNING! PCI Express cards, like all computer equipment, can be severely  
damaged by static electricity. Be sure that you are properly grounded before  
opening your computer case or touching your PCI Express card. StarTech.com  
recommends that you wear an anti-static strap when installing any computer  
component. If an anti-static strap is unavailable, discharge yourself of any  
static electricity build-up by touching a large grounded metal surface (such  
as the computer case) for several seconds. Also be careful to handle the PCI  
Express card by its edges and not the gold connectors.  
Hardware Installation  
1. Turn your computer off and any peripherals connected to the computer (i.e.  
printers, external hard drives, etc.). Unplug the power cable from the rear of the  
power supply on the back of the computer.  
2. Remove the cover from the computer case. See documentation for your computer  
system for details.  
3. Locate an open PCI Express slot and remove the metal cover plate on the rear of the  
computer case. Note that this card will work in PCI Express slots of additional lanes  
(i.e. x4, x8 or x16 slots).  
NOTE: If installing the card into a small form factor/low profile system, replacing the  
pre-installed full profile bracket with the included low profile installation bracket may  
be necessary.  
4. Insert the card into the open PCI Express slot and fasten the bracket to the rear of  
the case, per your computer’s documentation.  
5. OPTIONAL: Connect an LP4 molex power connector from the computer’s power  
supply to the LP4 connector on the card. This is only required if using the ports  
with bus-powered USB devices (no external power adapter) or if experiencing  
connectivity issues.  
6. Place the cover back onto the computer case.  
7. Insert the power cable into the socket on the power supply and reconnect all other  
connectors removed in Step 1.
