Installing a PCIe Card
The Little Brother supports half-length, full-height, and double-width PCIe cards with
a maximum length of 220 mm.
Before You Begin
Preparing Your Computer
The Little Brother doesn’t need its own drivers. Not all PCIe cards require drivers to
be operable.
For cards that require drivers, the drivers you install must be Thunderbolt aware.
Mac Computers
The necessary drivers that support the Little Brother are included as part of macOS.
Make sure you have upgraded to the latest version of the operating system (10.12
or higher).
PC Computers
Windows computers may require the latest BIOS and Thunderbolt drivers to support
this product. Go to your computer manufacturer’s website for information on
downloading and installing the necessary drivers.
Static electricity discharge can damage the Little Brother and other electronic
components. Always wear an antistatic wrist strap when working inside the unit.
Important! Handle PCIe cards by their edges, and do not touch the connector pins.
