Технические характеристики

Поиск неисправностей

• Карта не обнаружена:
  • Ensure the card is fully and securely seated in the PCIe slot.
  • Verify that the PCIe slot is functional. Try installing the card in a different available slot if possible.
  • Check your computer's BIOS/UEFI settings to ensure PCIe slots are enabled and configured correctly.
• Devices Not Working (Windows 7/XP/Vista):
  • Install the necessary drivers from the included CD or download the appropriate drivers from the official ELUTENG webсайт.
  • In Device Manager, check for any unknown devices or devices with error symbols. Manually update the driver, pointing to the downloaded driver files.
• Низкая скорость передачи данных:
  • Ensure the connected USB device supports USB 3.0/3.1 speeds. Older USB 2.0 devices will operate at their maximum speed (480Mbps).
  • The actual transfer speed can be limited by the performance of the connected device itself or the quality of the USB cable used.
• Physical Fit Issues (Card Misalignment):
  • If the card's ports are misaligned with the PC case's I/O opening, try inserting a USB cable into one of the ports before fully tightening the mounting screw. This can help guide the card into the correct position.

Обслуживание

• Keep the interior of your PC case clean and free of dust to ensure proper airflow and efficient heat dissipation for all components, including the expansion card.
• Avoid exposing the expansion card to extreme temperatures, high humidity, or direct sunlight.
