Teardown

Einleitung

This is a teardown of a dual USB port bracket with LED activity lights for a desktop computer. These brackets, which mount on any open expansion card slot on a computer chassis, add two USB ports to the back of a computer using a connection to a 9-pin USB header on a motherboard. This one came out of a desktop with an MSI motherboard.

    • Use a Phillips #1 screwdriver to remove the four screws from the white casing and the two screws from the metal bracket.

    • On the bottom of the circuit board, the pins that hold its components can cut skin.

    • The two USB 2.0 ports.

    • The four LED lights, which light up depending on the activity of the USB ports.
