5. Bedienungsanleitung

The NZXT Internal USB Hub 3 operates as a plug-and-play device. Once correctly installed and powered, it automatically provides additional USB 2.0 ports for your internal components. No additional drivers or software are typically required for basic functionality.

• Ensure all devices connected to the hub are properly seated in their respective ports.
• The SATA power connection ensures sufficient power delivery to all connected devices, preventing power-related issues.

6. Wartung

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your NZXT Internal USB Hub 3:

• Keep the hub and its connections free from dust and debris. Use compressed air to gently clean the ports periodically.
• Ensure cables are not excessively bent or strained, which could lead to damage.
• Avoid exposing the hub to extreme temperatures or humidity.

7. Fehlerbehebung

If you encounter issues with your NZXT Internal USB Hub 3, consider the following:

• Gerät nicht erkannt:
  • Verify that the hub's motherboard cable is securely connected to both the hub and an active USB 2.0 header on your motherboard.
  • Ensure the SATA power cable is firmly connected to both the hub and your PSU. Lack of sufficient power is a common cause for devices not being recognized.
  • Try connecting the problematic device directly to a motherboard USB 2.0 header to rule out the device itself as the source of the issue.
  • Starten Sie Ihren Computer neu.
• Intermittierende Konnektivität:
  • Prüfen Sie alle Kabelverbindungen auf festen Sitz.
  • Ensure the SATA power connection is stable. The hub relies on this for consistent performance.
  • Avoid overloading the hub with too many high-power draw devices, although the SATA power connection is designed to mitigate this.
• Physischer Schaden:
  • Inspect the hub and cables for any visible signs of damage.
