How to use

Install the front panel into an empty 3.5" drive bay and secure it according to your case's mounting method. Connect the 19-pin USB 3.0 header cable to the corresponding header on the motherboard and attach the SATA 15-pin power cable to a free power connector from the PSU. Once connected, power on the PC; the operating system should detect the USB ports and card reader automatically. Insert USB devices into the Type-A or Type-C ports and insert SD or Micro SD cards into the respective slots for access.

Recommendations

For full USB 3.2 Gen 1 performance, use compatible devices and a motherboard header that supports USB 3.0/3.2 Gen 1. Avoid forcing memory cards into the slots; insert them gently and ensure correct orientation. If the card reader or ports are not recognized, verify the internal connections and power cable seating before checking drivers in the operating system.
