how to install SIIG DP USB 3.0 7-Port PCIe i/e

• Power down your PC and unplug the power cord. Open the computer case to access the motherboard and PCIe slots.
• Identify an available PCIe slot (preferably PCIe x1 or larger) and remove the corresponding expansion slot cover on the back of the case.
• Insert the SIIG 7‑port USB 3.0 PCIe card firmly into the PCIe slot until it is fully seated, then fasten the card’s metal bracket to the case with a screw for secure mounting.
• Reconnect power and boot the system. The operating system should recognize the new hardware and install drivers automatically in most cases; if prompted, allow the driver installation to complete.
• Connect USB devices to the external ports and, if using the internal header, attach any front‑panel USB 3.0 cable to the internal header on the card and to the corresponding motherboard header per your case’s manual. Verify that all devices are detected and functioning at USB 3.0 speeds.
