About PCI and
PCI Express
PCI and PCI-X should not be confused with PCI Express (also known as PCIe).
PCIe is not compatible with PCI or PCI-X because PCIe uses a completely dif-
ferent connector (see Figure 1 on page 21).
UAD-2 SOLO, DUO, and QUAD cards are all PCIe cards. They will ONLY
work in PCI Express (PCIe) slots. Be careful to only install the UAD-2 card into
a PCIe slot.
