PCIe x1 to 32-bit 33 MHz 5V PCI bus adapter card with reinforced capacitors, ASM1083 chipset

This adapter allows you to use a traditional 32-bit PCI expansion card in a PCIe x1 slot. It is based on a PCIe-to-PCI bridge featuring the ASM1083 chipset.

Compatibility:

Motherboards equipped with a PCI Express x1, x4, x8, or x16 port.

32-bit 5V PCI expansion cards (do not use with 16-bit 3.3V PCI cards).

Supports PCI network, FireWire, RS232, parallel, and other cards.

Operating system-independent; compatible with all versions of Windows, Mac, and Linux.

Technical Specifications:

Transparent PCI Express to PCI conversion via integrated bridge.

ASM1083 chipset.

Installation requires no special hardware configuration.

Reinforced capacitors.

Host Interface:

PCI Express x1.

Connection between the two devices via a USB 3.0 cable.

Peripheral Interface:

1 x 32-bit PCI slot.

Mounting via screws or using the supplied feet.

Requires a 12V power supply (power supply not included; plug compatible with 2.1x5.5 or 2.5x5.5 connectors; recommended current 2A or higher; examples of compatible power supplies are listed at the bottom of this product sheet).

WARNINGS:

1. Your motherboard must support this type of bridge, which is not always the case. Additionally, some motherboards that support PCI-e bridges will only do so with a specific type of chipset. Check with your motherboard manufacturer to ensure compatibility.
2. Warning: This bridge only supports 32-bit PCI cards. Do not use 16-bit PCI cards, as they operate at a different voltage and you risk damaging the PCI card or the adapter.
3. This adapter uses a USB cable, but it is not a USB adapter: you cannot connect the PCI card to a USB port using the USB cable; the cable is only used to connect the two mother and daughter boards together.
