Yes, thank you. I was just hoping to avoid opening the box -  its a good
half an hour :) operation.

 However there is hardware where the system has this on the motherboard
 but not wired to any jacks. Look for blue coloured ports or ones that
 are labeled SuperSpeed (SS).  If those work then it is possible
 (unless they have been wired into the USB-2 ports on the motherboard..
 had to fix that on a system last month).

 Finally if there is still doubt, check the BIOS of the system and if
 it needs any updates. Various 'problems' with USB compatibility are
 routinely 'fixed' by manufacturers after the system is shipped.

 Hi Andrew,

 So, maybe.

 So I second on Stephen on check for the blue tangs.  Here is a picture:

You have a USB3 root hub, but whether you have working USB3 ports,
it depends. Simplest is to look at mobo specs, the mobo
info can usually be extracted from the output of dmidecode.

Then you need to check possible errata - back in early USB2 days,
mobos with some AMD chipsets had USB2 hardware that did not work.

Now in early USB3 days I have some mobos that need special linux
kernel command line switches to make USB2 work (or to make USB3 work,
I forget which).

Do you have ports that are blue? Are there ports which are labeled SS.
If you have neither (like this Thinkpad t540p) all you can do is plug
in a USB 3.0 device and see if you get USB-3.0 speeds.
