How to use

For external use, connect the hub to mains power using the included power adapter and plug the USB 3.0 cable into an available USB port on your computer. For internal installation, mount the hub into an empty 3.5" drive bay, connect the hub to the PC power supply with the provided power cable and route the USB 3.0 cable to an internal or external USB header as required. After connecting, the operating system should detect the hub automatically; install drivers only if your OS prompts for them.

Recommendations

To achieve full USB 3.2 Gen 1 speeds, connect compatible USB 3.x devices and use a USB 3.0 port on your computer. Use the dedicated power port when connecting devices that require additional power, such as external drives or charging devices. Choose the front panel that best matches your system to maintain a clean appearance.
