HP USB 3.1 GEN1 X2 MODULE FLEX IO V2

The HP USB 3.1 Gen1 x2 Module Flex IO v2 (13L58AA) adds two USB Type-A ports with 5Gbps signaling to compatible HP desktops, making it suitable for users who need more connections for peripherals or external storage.

Recommended For

• Owners of an HP desktop confirmed compatible with Flex IO v2 who need two additional USB-A ports for everyday peripherals or accessories.
• People using compatible business desktops who want to add USB-A connectivity through the PC’s Flex IO module slot rather than use a separate USB hub.
• Workplace IT teams supporting listed HP EliteDesk or ProDesk models that need to add two USB-A ports as part of a desktop’s configurable connectivity.
• Users who mainly connect standard USB-A devices and need transfer rates up to the module’s USB 5Gbps signaling rate, rather than a faster USB-C option.

Real-World Use Scenarios

• When a compatible HP desktop is short on USB-A connections, install the module to add two ports for everyday devices such as a keyboard, mouse, or printer, reducing the need to move plugs between ports.
• For transferring files or making a local backup, connect a USB-A flash drive or external storage device to one of the added ports; actual transfer speeds depend on the connected device and the files being copied.
• In a fixed desk setup, use the added USB-A ports for accessories such as a headset receiver or wireless keyboard and mouse dongles, leaving other desktop ports available for occasional connections.
• When setting up a compatible office desktop with several wired USB accessories, use the two added ports to connect more devices directly instead of relying on a separate USB hub, provided the available ports and cable layout suit the desk.
• When refreshing or repurposing a compatible HP desktop, add two USB-A connections through its Flex IO slot; check the exact PC model first, since the module is designed for supported HP desktops and only one Flex IO module can be used at a time.
