Z400: HP Z400 front USB 2.0 port upgrading?

I understand that the MB is limited to USB 2.0. USB 2.0 ports before may be rerouted to use PCIe USB 3.0?

Front and rear are 2.0.

If the sockets on the front could route to PCIe 3.0, which would be preferable.

open houses provide a USB 3.0 card.

Seen some with 20 pins or internal female usb on board.

  • Can I replace front usb 2.0 ports with 3.0 - if so how?

    I have a HP p6653w 64-bit with Windows 7 which currently has 2 usb 2.0 ports at the front.  I want to replace it with usb 3.0 ports but I don't know if I can or the steps to do if I can?  HP support told me to use Buffalo USB 3.0 PCI Express Interface Card for the replacement of back, but I have a drive hard toshiba laptop which has a cord usb very short, so I prefer to Exchange just in front.  Thank you.

    Hello

    All standard pins on the USB ports are the same.

  • HP a6554f: Front USB Ports not working for a6554f

    Hi, I cleaned the dust from my computer yesterday for the first time because the computer kept crashing. I removed the motherboard, so I unplugged everything that was clinging to her and I also removed the hard drive then plugged everything once I had finished, (do not know if I just plugged in as it was, even if I took a video of it, but the wasen can't good quality so I had to guess a little). I also added thermal compound to the cpu.

    Anyway, everyhting seems to work except the 2 usb ports front of the case. It was working fine until I opened the case (this is why I do not open the computers, but the dust was just too). The audio ports and microphone located in the front work correctly. And the rear USB ports are working properly.

    What I've done so far is running pilot Booster and also I went to Device Manager > USB Bus controllers, then I turned off everything on the list, then allowed them again. And nothing has worked.

    I don't know much about computers so I don't want to go to the hassle of opening the case cause once again I was scared lol but could I maybe hooked up a cable in the port of fake?

    Also, is there a diagram to show where each cable goes to the a6554f model?

    As you pointed out the audio before and MIC ports are working, then it might be just the plug for the ports before USB is not properly or is in the wrong place.  Here is a page that relates to the motherboard. In the lower right corner of the image or the page layout scheme, there are two blocks header before normally taken into USB ports.  Says F_USB1 and F_USB2.  Either we must work to the front ports.  Check to make sure that the wiring box beam (which has the wires going to the front USB ports) is connected on one of them.

  • I have a Photosmart 3210 - Can I use the front USB port instead of port back? (back is broken).

    Hello!  Trying to help a friend.  Rear USB port no longer his plug slips outside, no electrical connection.  Tearing in the unit for her brief submeter (out of warranty, nothing to lose).  Can I use an adapter with a standard USB plug on each end to connect to a PC for printing?  The user manual is too vague on this - looks like front USB is just for PictBridge stuff.  Any suggestions/ideas will be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hello kott2ke,

    Front USB port: print photos directly from your camera or storage only.

    Rear USB port provides connectivity for printer and USB.

  • front usb ports are unable to detect the large capacity external hard drive (250 GB)

    Hello
    I have 250 GB external hard drive, whenever I connect to my front usb ports it detected, but pen drives, are to detect flash drives, one of my friends said that you need to update my bios & I here is the motherboard.

    motherboard: Mercury 945gcm

    It is possible that the USB 1.1 and not 2.0 ports that can explain the problem.  In addition, sometimes USB ports out enough power to run an external device that is not powered separatelly.  I don't know if updating the BIOS will help, but if there is an update available for your system (and it MUST be for your system - big bad can occur if you install the wrong BIOS so get with the computer manufacturer, and speak to a representative to confirm that they are appropriate for your system AND your version of Vista) then by all means install it and see if that solves the problem.  You can also get the updated drivers for the motherboard manufacturer, at the same time and see if that helps as well.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • HPE-210F dead USB 2.0 port AV - where to plug them in?

    My newest HPE-210F has a USB 2.0 on the front, and he died. I opened the case, and of course, the connector it is not connected to the motherboard. I want to know where to plug the connector on the motherboard. I can attach a photo of the MB, if necessary, but I suspect it's an easy question. On a related note, there are three small openings in the metal cage where the USB port on the front is pressed. Are enough spots on the MB to plug in a few extra USB 2.0 ports? I wonder if HP sells ports ready to fit in the cage or if it is a standard of the industry and I could get them elsewhere?

    TIA!

    Pick up and empty the USB socket and plug the connector.  This motherbaord is used for different configurations of the firm.  Pocket USB and media drive bays would also use the empty USB Sockets.
