StarTech.com PCI to PCI Express Adapter Card (PCI1PEX1) User Manual

Model: PCI1PEX1

Продукт бүттүview

The StarTech.com PCI to PCI Express Adapter card, model PCI1PEX1, allows the use of low profile PCIe expansion cards in a server or desktop motherboard's PCI slot. This adapter connects through a 32-bit PCI slot, converting it into a low profile PCIe x1 slot. A spare, full-size bracket is included for installation in larger desktop or server expansion slots that can accommodate a full-sized card. Its innovative bracket design ensures secure adaptation and placement of the low profile PCI Express card, offering a versatile and economical solution for extending the usability of older PCI motherboards or integrating low profile PCIe cards without PCI equivalents.

Орнотуу кадамдары

  1. Компьютериңизди даярдаңыз: Power off your computer and disconnect all cables. Open the computer case to access the motherboard's expansion slots.
  2. Identify an available PCI slot: Locate an empty 32-bit PCI slot on your motherboard.
  3. Install the PCI Express card onto the adapter: Carefully insert your low profile PCI Express x1 expansion card into the PCIe slot on the PCI1PEX1 adapter card. Ensure it is seated firmly.
  4. Secure the PCI Express card: The innovative bracket design of the PCI1PEX1 adapter helps secure the low profile PCI Express card. Ensure the card is properly aligned and secured to the adapter.
  5. Install the adapter into the PCI slot: Gently insert the PCI1PEX1 adapter card (with the PCIe card attached) into the chosen 32-bit PCI slot on your motherboard. Apply even pressure until it is fully seated.
  6. Secure the adapter: Use the screw or retention clip from your computer case to secure the adapter's bracket to the case. If installing in a full-size slot that requires a full-sized bracket, replace the pre-installed low-profile bracket on the PCI1PEX1 with the included spare full-size bracket before installation.
  7. Close the computer case: Once the adapter and PCIe card are securely installed, close your computer case.
  8. Reconnect and power on: Reconnect all cables to your computer and power it on.

Эскертүү: This adapter is designed for low profile PCI Express cards. If your PCI Express card is not low profile, or if it has multiple ports that extend beyond the standard low-profile bracket, you may need to perform case modifications to accommodate it. The adapter raises the installed PCI Express card by approximately 1.5 to 2.0 inches from the motherboard.

Иштөө нускамалары

The StarTech.com PCI1PEX1 adapter card operates transparently, acting as a bridge between your PCI slot and the installed PCI Express card. No specific drivers are required for the adapter itself, as it functions as a passive bridge. The functionality of the installed PCI Express card will depend on its own drivers and compatibility with your operating system.

Driver Installation for PCI Express Card

  1. Upon booting your computer after installation, your operating system should detect the newly installed PCI Express card.
  2. If drivers are not automatically installed, refer to the documentation provided with your PCI Express card for driver installation instructions. You may need to download the latest drivers from the PCI Express card manufacturer's webсайт.
  3. Once the appropriate drivers are installed, the PCI Express card should be fully functional within your system.

Техникалык тейлөө

The StarTech.com PCI1PEX1 adapter card requires minimal maintenance. Keep the adapter and the installed PCI Express card free from dust and debris to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Periodically inspect the connections to ensure they remain secure.

Проблемаларды чечүү

If you encounter issues with the PCI1PEX1 adapter card, refer to the following troubleshooting steps:

КөйгөйМүмкүн чечим
PCIe card not detected after installation.
  • Ensure the PCI1PEX1 adapter is fully seated in the PCI slot.
  • Ensure the PCIe card is fully seated in the adapter's PCIe slot.
  • Verify that the PCI slot on your motherboard is functional. Try the adapter in a different PCI slot if available.
  • Check your computer's BIOS/UEFI settings to ensure PCI slots are enabled and configured correctly.
  • Ensure the necessary drivers for the PCIe картасы are installed. The adapter itself does not require drivers.
System instability or crashes after installation.
  • This can sometimes occur with 32-bit PCI bridges in 64-bit environments, especially if the adapter requests a large memory window from the BIOS.
  • Ensure your system's BIOS/UEFI is updated to the latest version.
  • Адаптерди башка PCI слотуна орнотуп көрүңүз.
  • Verify that the installed PCIe card is compatible with your system and operating system.
  • Check for conflicts with other installed hardware in Device Manager.
Physical fit issues (e.g., card doesn't fit in case).
  • The adapter raises the installed PCIe card. Ensure your computer case has sufficient clearance.
  • If your PCIe card is not low profile, or has extended ports, case modification (e.g., cutting out part of the case) may be necessary.
  • Utilize the included full-size bracket if your case requires it.
