The expansion chassis connects to the host using a proprietary USB-C PCIe x2 adapter card and a locking USB Type-C cable.External PCIe Expansion BoxThe chassis communicates with the desktop computer or server using a host card (PCIe 2.0 x2) in combination with the 5.9ft (1.8m) USB Type-C (USB-C) cable with screw-locks. The included low-profile bracket widens the compatibility as you can install the host card in small form factor (SFF) systems. Features support for PCI-E Advanced Error Reporting (AER) and EndPoint Cyclic Redundancy Check (ECRC). Both of these PCIe features to aid in establishing and maintaining PCIe connections between devices.The PCI express expansion box does not require drivers to be installed. It's operating system independent; meaning it can be used in Windows, Linux, or macOS. Note: the expansion cards installed in the chassis may require drivers.Robust ConstructionThe expansion chassis is built with SECC galvanized steel, enabling it to operate in harsh environments. It features an operating temperature range of 32° to 140°F (0° to 60°C). The vented design of the chassis allows for passive cooling and quiet operation. Secure the enclosure to the desired location using the mounting brackets and included hardware.Power OptionsPower the expansion chassis using the included 12V 3A power adapter or the terminal block port that supports 12 to 24V and 3A.ApplicationsThere are multiple application scenarios:• Upgrade or swap cards with ease.• Test hardware between multiple computers, operating systems, or with different devices/peripherals.• Maximize the I/O capabilities of the host system by installing Ethernet or fiber, USB, serial, or parallel PCIe cards.Avoid costly computer/server upgrades when more expansion slots are unavailable.The external PCIe slots for desktop is backed for two years, including free lifetime 24/5 multi-lingual technical assistance.The StarTech.com Advantage EXPANSION CHASSIS FOR PCIE CARDS: Increase the PCI-e slot count of a desktop computer or server; Add four external PCIe x1 slots; PCI Express 2.0 x2 proprietary USB-C Host Card with locking port; 5.9ft (1.8m) USB-C locking cable includedRUGGED CONSTRUCTION: PCI Express expansion box is built with SECC steel to withstand harsh conditions and up to 140°F (60°C); Vented chassis for cooling; Quiet operation; Power adapter (12V 3A) included, terminal block port (12-24 VDC) availableHASSLE FREE UPGRADES: Connect add-on cards (e.g., USB, Ethernet, SFP, Serial, and I/O Cards) to a host system with limited expansion slots; Implement fast deployments and reduce the cost and downtime required to configure an existing or new host systemCOMPATIBILITY: This PCIe expansion chassis is OS independent and requires no additional software; Windows, macOS, and Linux are supported; Installed add-on card may require additional drivers and specific supported OS; Not meant to be used with GPUsTHE IT PRO'S CHOICE: Designed and built for IT Professionals, this external PCIe expansion chassis for desktop is backed for two years, including free lifetime 24/5 multi-lingual technical assistance Overview Specifications Contact Us Steel Housing | Mounting Brackets | Screw-lock USB-C CableThe robust expansion chassis supports up to 4 PCIe x1 add-on cards and features up to 10Gbps of total bandwidth.
