open USB port.

your computer's user manual for details, if necessary).

3. Gently insert the panel into the open 3.5” bay (after threading the attached USB cable

lined up with the screwholes in the case, and screw the panel into place.

4. Thread the attached USB cable out the back of your computer and plug it into a USB

port. You can use the metal rear bracket cover to hold the cable in place. Just screw

the bracket cover into an open I/O bracket on the rear of your computer.

5. Put your case’s cover back on and power on your computer.

6. Your computer will display a message saying new hardware has been found.
