About this item
*** Installation Note ***
- USB power will always be on even when the system is shut down.
- Please unplug the PC power cable completely for 20 seconds before installation to avoid possible voltage spikes which may damage the chipset on the adapter.
- This adapter is designed to fit all USB 3.0 20 pin motherboard headers by standard specification. However, a small number of motherboards do not use standard USB 3.0 20 pin headers, which may cause the adapter to get stuck in the socket.
- Forceful removal of the adapter may cause the header socket to be damaged. LINKUP is not responsible for such damage.
Connector Details:
- Connector 1 (Motherboard): USB 3.0 Internal IDC 20 Pin MB Male Housing Header.

*** Note on USB current over limit issue ***
- The power from the USB 3.0 header on the motherboard has a power rating of 4.5W (0.9A x 5V).
- Many USB-C devices can withdraw power up to 100W (20A x 5V), which may result in a power shutdown to protect the motherboard and its components.
