StarTech PEX1PCI1 PCI to PCIe Adapter Card
Overview
The StarTech PEX1PCI1 provides a bridge between a PCI Express (PCIe) slot and a standard PCI bus. This adapter card allows you to install legacy PCI expansion cards into a modern motherboard that only features PCIe slots. This is critical for integrating older specialized hardware, such as specific data acquisition cards, industrial control modules, or legacy network interfaces, into current server or workstation builds without requiring a full system replacement. The PEX1PCI1 uses a Pericom PI7C9x118SL chipset to manage the bus conversion.
Compatibility
This adapter card is designed for use in a standard 1x PCIe slot. It supports both 3.3V and 5V PCI/PCI-X cards, ensuring broad compatibility with a wide range of legacy expansion hardware. The card itself is a standard profile form factor, suitable for most desktop and server chassis. It requires a motherboard with an available PCIe x1 slot and an LP4 power connector for the PCI bus power.
Installation Notes
Installation requires opening the computer chassis and inserting the adapter card into an available PCIe x1 slot. A separate LP4 power connector from the system's power supply unit must be connected to the adapter card to power the connected PCI device. Ensure the system is powered off and grounded before installation. The operating temperature range is 0°C to 85°C.
