Chapter 3: Troubleshooting Tips
• If the card or devices connected to the computer do
not seem to be working properly, please perform the
following basic troubleshooting steps:
1. Check that all cables are securely connected in the
proper places.
2. Make sure the USB device’s power is turned on.
3. Make sure the PCIe card is properly installed and is
connected to power.
4. Make sure there is no problem with the card
installation.

• If a message is displayed stating that not enough
power is available for the connected device:
Make sure the 15-pin SATA cable is connected to the
card (either by the 4-pin molex adapter or direct 15-pin
SATA). Alternatively, if the device has its own external
power source, make sure it is plugged in.
10
• If there is a yellow exclamation point on the controller
in the Device Manager:
1. Please shut down your computer and move the
card to another available PCIe slot, then re-install
the USB 3.0 driver.
2. In the device manager, select the Fresco Logic Xhci
(USB 3) Root hub, right-click using your mouse,
and select “Update Driver” to update the USB
driver.
3. This exclamation point usually means there is a
resource conflict between this card and another
card in your system. Please move the card to
another available slot and then restart your
computer. Windows will re-configure itself and
re-assign resources. Check the device manager
again to insure the issue has been resolved.

• Is it possible to connect current USB 1.1 or USB 2.0
devices to the USB 3.0 PCI Express card?
Yes. Devices will not obtain the USB 3.0 data transfer
speeds but are fully compatible.
