Add an additional 4 PCI slots (32-bit/33 MHz), using PCI Express Rugged steel construction Supports both 5V and 3.3V & 5V add-in PCI cards Self-powered Expansion box with an on/off button No driver or software installation PCI Express adapter card includes both Full/Low Profile installation brackets and a DVI cable to connect the card to the PCI enclosure StarTech.com's innovative PCI Express to PCI Expansion Chassis provides a quick and simple solution to I/O expandability on almost any PCI Express (PCIe) enabled system. Adding external PCI slots to a server/workstation or laptop, this cost-effective and time-saving method of simply adding additional PCI cards to a server/workstation or providing a platform to be able to swap PCI add-in cards between a mobile and desktop setup is the optimal method of maximizing the I/O capabilities of new or existing systems. The external expansion chassis adds four PCI slots (32-bit/33MHz) to the host computer system, through a single PCI Express connection. Providing total bandwidth of up to 250MBps from the x1 PCIe host controller card, which allows the host computer to function as though the cards in the expansion chassis were connected directly to the motoard. The PCIe controller card connects directly to the PCI Expansion box with an included DVI cable for a reliable, high quality connection. A dependable I/O expansion solution, the Expansion Chassis is backed by StarTech.com's 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support. Expand an existing system's I/O capabilities without having to purchase an entirely new system. Ideal for system testers, and engineers who may need to regularly swap out I/O cards. Add full height cards to a small form factor system. Provide PCI support to systems with only PCIe slots. Provide data acquisition, telephony, storage and audio capabilities by having additional I/O expansion slots. Convert a single PCI Express slot to four additional external PCI slots without any driver or software installation required External expansion enclosure simplifies swapping PCI cards, without ever having to move or take apart the main desktop/server Backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support Specifications Warranty Information Warranty 2 Years Internal Depth 6,7 in [17,0 cm] Connector(s) 1 - Connector Type(s) PCI Express x1 4 - External Ports PCI / PCI-X (Universal 3.3 & 5V, 32-bit) Slot Environmental Operating Temperature 0°C ~ 55°C Storage Temperature -40°C ~ 75°C Hardware Interface PCI / PCI-X (5 / 3.3V) Bus Type PCI Express Packaging Information Package Length 9,6 in [24,5 cm] Package Width 7,9 in [20,0 cm] Package Height 8,3 in [21,0 cm] Shipping (Package) Weight 5,3 lb [2,4 kg] Performance MTBF 143,947 Hours Physical Characteristics Color Black Material Aluminum and Steel Product Length 8,0 in [20,4 cm] Product Width 5,4 in [13,7 cm] Product Height 5,6 in [14,2 cm] Weight of Product 5,2 lb [2,4 kg] Power Power Source AC Adapter Included Input Voltage 100 - 240 AC Output Voltage 12V DC Output Current 3A Plug Type M Power Consumption (In Watts) 36 Software OS Compatibility OS Independent; No additional drivers or software required Special Notes / Requirements Note - Supports 32-bit PCI cards less than 6.7” in length; 64-bit PCI 12.28” cards (full-length) are not supported - The chassis provides up to 5V @ 3A, 3.3V @ 4.5A, or a combined total of 15 Watts - This product has a known compatibility issue with Silicon Image SATA Controllers on an AMD platform What's in the Box 1 - Included in Package PCI Expansion box PCI Express Card 3ft DVI Cable Low Profile Bracket Screw Kit Power Cable Universal power adapter: comes ready for NA/EU/UK only when you buy in NA/EU/UK; comes ready for Australia and New Zealand only when you buy in Australia and New Zealand Installation CD Instruction Manual
