I have a ready-made Omen PC, and I'm confused about this component. It seems like a fan hub, but it's only connected directly to the motherboard. Could anyone clarify? Also, I'm already sharing, so do you know the motherboard model? It appears to be MicroATX, but it only has two RAM slots.

It includes an additional USB hub. It’s used to create more USB 2 ports, which was done since there weren’t enough USB 2 connectors on the motherboard for all the required ports.
