Scroll down to "Host and device interface receptacles". There is a socket/plug compatibility matrix/table.

Well the connectors look like "Type-A SuperSpeed" in that table. And with considerable wiggling and a lot of force I got a PNY flash drive plugged into one but nothing showed on the desktop or in the lsusb listing? The same drive plugged into a USB2 port on the front panel shows in both.
I still doubt that those connectors are compatible, at least I worry when I have to use that much force to make something fit, I smelled no smoke though?
They should be 100% compatible. I can plug both USB2 and USB3 devices into those blue "Type-A SuperSpeed" connectors on the front of my PC with no problems at all. What does dmesg show when you plug in a device?
