StarTech.com 4PCIE-PCIE-ENCLOSURE Expansion Chassis - StarTech 4 Slot PCIe , External PCIe Slots for PC, PCIe 2.0 w/10Gbps Throughput, PCI Express Expansion Box, TAA 4 Slot PCIe | External PCIe Slots for Desktop/Server | Host Card PCI e 2.0 x2, 10Gbps, i

The robust expansion chassis supports up to 4 PCIe x1 add-on cards and features up to 10Gbps of total bandwidth. 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 Box

The 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 Construction

The 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 Options

Power the expansion chassis using the included 12V 3A power adapter or the terminal block port that supports 12 to 24V and 3A.

Applications

There 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.

Special Notes / Requirements
Note
The PCIe to PCIe Expansion Chassis must be used with the included PCIe Host Adapter Card. It is not compatible with other USB Type-C cards or built-in computer ports.
This product does not support hot-plugging of the USB Type-C cable. The chassis must be powered off before connecting or disconnecting the USB Type-C cable.
This product only supports a single orientation of the USB Type-C cable. It must be used in the proper orientation where the screw-locking connector lines up correctly with the PCIe to PCIe Expansion Chassis and the PCIe Host Adapter Card.
This product does not support graphics/video cards.
Installed PCIe cards may require the installation of drivers. Check with the manufacturer of the PCIe cards for drivers and to confirm OS compatibility.
For the Wake-on-LAN (WoL) feature to work, the host computer must also support WoL and be appropriately configured. Refer to the Quick-start guide to confirm the jumper settings of the PCIe Host Card.
