  • Verify that the 19-pin USB 3.0 and 20-pin USB 3.2 Key-A Type-E cables are correctly and firmly plugged into their respective headers on the motherboard. Incorrect orientation of the Type-E connector can prevent functionality.
  • Check your motherboard's manual to confirm the presence and location of the required headers.

  • Confirm that your motherboard drivers are up to date.
