FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the Lian Li PW-U2HB?

Its primary purpose is to expand your PC's internal connectivity by providing three additional USB 2.0 ports from a single motherboard 9-pin header.

Can I connect USB 3.0 devices to this adapter?

No, this adapter is specifically for USB 2.0 devices. Connecting a USB 3.0 device will not work or may function at USB 2.0 speeds if at all.

How many USB 2.0 ports does it provide?

It provides three USB 2.0 ports.

Is this adapter suitable for high-speed external drives?

No, due to its USB 2.0 limitation, it is not suitable for high-speed external drives. It is best for peripherals like RGB controllers, internal USB hubs, or other low-bandwidth devices.

What does the built-in chipset do?

The built-in chipset ensures stable signal transmission and interference-free data transfer for all connected USB 2.0 devices.

Does it come with cable management accessories?

Yes, it includes Velcro straps and an adhesive magnetic pad for efficient cable management.

Will this work with any motherboard?

It will work with any motherboard that has an available internal USB 2.0 9-pin header.

Troubleshooting

Connected USB devices are not recognized.

Ensure the 9-pin header is securely connected to the motherboard. Verify that the connected devices are indeed USB 2.0 and are functioning correctly by testing them individually.

RGB lighting or fan control is unstable or flickering.

Check for loose connections on both the adapter and the connected devices. Ensure the adapter is properly seated on the motherboard header. Make sure the connected devices are not drawing excessive power for a single USB 2.0 header.

Adapter cable is too short for the case.

While the cables are designed to be long, if you have an exceptionally large case, consider repositioning the adapter or using a USB extension cable (ensure it's compatible with USB 2.0).
