Card installation

Follow the instructions below to install the U3S6 expansion card to your motherboard.

The following pictures are for reference only. The motherboard layout may vary

with models, but the installation steps remain the same.

1. Locate to an empty PCI Express x4,

x8, or x16 slot on the motherboard.

If your motherboard has two or

more PCI Express x16 slots and

has no PCI Express x4 or x8 slots,

it is recommended to install the card

to the last PCI Express x16 slot.

PCI Express slot. Ensure that it is

completely seated on slot.

It is recommended to install the U3S6 expansion card to a PCI Express x4 slot

prior to other PCI Express slots. The card supports the maximum bandwidth of

x4 link only and will run at x4 link even installed on a PCI Express x8 or x16 slot.
