Add four external PCI expansion card slots to a desktop or laptop computer system
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 motherboard. For mobile applications, the Expansion Chassis can be connected to an ExpressCard enabled laptop using StarTech.com''s ExpressCard connection cable EC2PCI, which adds the same functionality offered by the Expansion Chassis to a laptop. This eliminates the expense and need of having to purchase different card adapters for the laptop. A dependable I/O expansion solution, the Expansion Chassis is backed by StarTech.com''s 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.
