StarTech PEX2PCI4 4-Slot PCI Expansion Module
Overview
The StarTech PEX2PCI4 provides a solution for integrating legacy PCI expansion cards into systems that lack native PCI slots. This external expansion module allows you to add up to four PCI cards, extending the life of existing hardware or enabling specialized functionality in modern workstations and servers. It is designed for scenarios where specific industrial control cards, data acquisition modules, or specialized communication interfaces are required, but the host system only offers PCIe connectivity.
Compatibility
This expansion module is compatible with systems featuring an available PCIe slot (PCIe x1, x4, x8, or x16). It allows the connection of standard PCI cards (32-bit, 33MHz). Specific compatibility with individual PCI cards depends on the card's power requirements and physical dimensions, as well as the host system's PCIe slot capabilities and operating system driver support for both the PCIe-to-PCI bridge and the target PCI card.
Installation Notes
Installation requires an available PCIe slot on the host motherboard. The module connects via a PCIe cable (included) to the host system. Each PCI slot on the expansion module has its own power delivery capabilities, but users must ensure the total power draw of the connected PCI cards does not exceed the host system's power supply capacity and the module's specifications. Ensure adequate airflow around the module and connected cards, as they will generate heat during operation.
