I would like to replace the USB 2.0 port in the front panel of my 2010 XPS 8100. I have a slot available on the mother board which now has a 4 port USB 2.0 card. I was considering replacing the existing card with a 4 port USB 3.0 card (3 external and 1 internal port). Is it possible to replace the two front USB ports that are under the slide down panel in front with 2 port connected to the internal port of the USB 3.0 card. If so, how would that be done and where could I find the appropriate hardware for the front mounted ports? Also is there a repair manual for the XPS 8100 that would show how to remove the plastic front panel?
