Introduction Thank you for purchasing a StarTech.com PCI Express to Four Slot PCI Expansion Bay. This product allows you to add PCI expandability to your computer, using an available PCI Express or ExpressCard* slot, helping to bridge the gap between older PCI expansion cards and motherboards with newer interface capabilities. Features • Supports 1x 2.5Gb/s PCI Express Data Transfer Rates • IPCI Slots are fully PCI Bus Rev. 2.3 Compliant • Supports both 5V and 3.
Installation WARNING: PEX2PCI4 uses a DVI interface to connect the the PCI Express and PCI components. When connecting the PCI expansion board to the PCI Express card, please ensure that the DVI port provided by PEX2PCI4 is not confused with a DVI port provided by the computer video card, as this could damage the video card, as well as the PCI Express expansion card and PCI expansion slot board.
1. Turn OFF the computer power before installation, and remove the chassis cover from the computer. Similarly, ensure the PEX2PCI4 is not powered at this time. Since both the PC system and the Expansion Box are self-powered, you need to follow the correct ON/OFF sequence as follows: Power Off Sequence: Power off your PC system, then the Expansion Box Power On Sequence: Power on the Expansion Box first, then power on your PC system. 2.
Using the ExpressCard Host Adapter Card The following diagram is a visual depiction of the instructions on the following page, which account for installation of the PEX2PCI4 using the (accessory) EC2PCI ExpressCard Adapter (must be purchased separately). 1. Turn OFF the computer power before installation.
2. Open the top cover of the PEX2PCI4 Expansion Box by removing the screws. There are four PCI slots in the Expansion Box. Find an unused slot, remove the “blank” PCI card bracket that was pre-installed from the factory. Insert the PCI card(s) you wish to install, into the available PCI slots, then replace the top cover of the Expansion Box. 3. Connect the DVI-like* connector on the EC2PCI ExpressCard Host Adapter Card to the DVI-like port on the rear panel of the PEX2PCI4 Expansion Box. 4.
