FebSmart Self-Powered Technology:
FebSmart Self-Powered Technology is a new solution to add more power supply to USB expansion cards. The old version of PCI Express USB cards needs to plug a power cable from the desktop computer’s power supply unit. Sometimes even though users put power cables on the computer power supply unit, it still drops speed due to power limitations. PCI Express slot can provide 75W max almost 12V/6.25A power in total for PCI-E devices.FebSmart adds a 1X voltage transformer chip on each USB 3.0 port to transfer 12V to 5V and provide each port with a 3A max power supply.ln other words, each USB port will get 5V/3A 15W for connected USB 3.0 devices. Most high-power consumption devices just need around 4-8W which means this USB 3.0 expansion card can light up high- power consumption devices simultaneously at full speed. To protect connected USB devices and user’s data, FebSmart built-in safety electric circuit protector, voltage stable inductance, and voltage stable capacitors on each USB port. Users do not worry about data loss or burning USB devices anymore. Add super speed, safe, and easy install USB card on desktop PCs.
Add USB Card on Desktop PCs:
Steps 1, Switch OFF the PC, unplug the computer from the main socket, and
unplug the power cord and other connected peripherals. Remove the cover from
the computer case.
Step2 , Find the correct PCI Express slot from the motherboard and insert
a USB 3.0 card into an empty PCI-E slot.
Step3, Reattach the computer cover and put back the removed peripherals,
power on a desktop computer.
Check If USB Card Was Detected on PCs:
- Users can plug in universal USB devices such as USB flash drives, keyboards, mice, etc. Check if the computer can find these devices. if the system read USB devices, means no need to install a driver that can use these added-on USB 3.0 ports now
- Find this added on USB card hardware in the Windows system “Device Manager and check if the system read it.
A, Means PCs find hardware correctly, and need to install the driver.
B, Means USB card hardware was detected correctly and the system loaded
the driver already, users can use it now.
C.Means PCs can not find the added-on USB card and do not load the driver
for the USB card. Users need to re-plug the USB card or motherboard PCI-E
slot, and better change to an active PCI-E slot for the USB card.
Install Driver on Desktop PCs:
- FS-1_14-Pro and FS-U3C2-Pro are based on Renesas NE( host controller.These models share the same installation steps on Windows 11,10,8.1,8,7,XP (32164bit) and Window: Server 2003,2003R2,2008,2008R2,2012,2012R2,2016, 2019,2022 (32/64bit) systems.
- Windows 11,10,8.1,8 (32164bit) and Windows server 20t 201282.2016,2019,2022 will load driver automatically.LF It can not read on the user’s system or read ‘Unknown Device in Windows “Device Manager with ‘Error Code 10”, users better change to another PCI-E slot for this USB card.

User FAQs:
1. How many USB 3.0 devices will be lighted simultaneously?****
– Actually with FebSmart’s Self-Powered technology. users can light up high;
– CYAN consumption devices in all added-on USB ports.
2. Why do USB devices deliver slower speeds than USB 3.0 design speeds?****
– The USB 3.0 design speed 5Gbps/625M88 is a theoretical speed, normal users’ devices can not reach the test conditions* the real connection speed will be less than 625MB/S.
3. Why we USB 3.0 HDO/SSD enclosures running at low speed?****
– When PCs use NVME/SATA 3.0 SSD disks, the USB 3.0 HDD/SSID enclosure’s last
speed will be affected by the Inside HOD or SSD.
– SATA 3.0 SSC* will get over 300M13/S,SATA 3.0 HODS will get about 100-
200M8/S.When using SATA 2.0 HDOs.speed will be less than 100MB/S.
4. Why do USB flash drives get a very low speed?****
– Check if the flash drive is designed on USB 2.0 or USB 3.0. The USB 2.0
flash drives will get a USG 2.0 speed.
– The USB 3.0 flash drives had one read speed and one write speed when it was
produced. Even though the manufacturer dein it is a USB 3.0 flash drive, they
may only design the read speed on USB 3.0 but the write speed is much smaller.
– The real test speed will be also affected by the user’s PC’s disk type when
copying In files.
– The PC with SSOs test speed will be faster than the PC with HDDs.
5. Do these Use ports add support for external USB hubs?****
– Recall the added-on ports support multiple ports USB hubs.
6.PCs report error code 10, how to fix this?****
– Error Code 10 means this PCI-E slot is not active or has no bandwidth.t.
– Some PCI-E slot was disabled In BIOS.users can enable the PCI-E slot In
BIOS. 2.$ome PCI-E slot shared bandwidth with another sentence that slot was
accused, this PCI-E Not will no bamvkfth.
– ln this case, change to another PCI-E slot.3.
– Some motherboard manufacturers defined PCI-E slot function. in this case,
users better call motherboard manufacturers to get more help.
