Overview
Extended 4-Ch PCIe Gen 2 × 1 Expander, Stable Performance, Driver-Free
Features
- Extending 1-ch PCIe to 4-ch PCIe Gen 2 × 1 sockets, PCIe Gen 1 × 1 compatible.
- Flexible power supply options: powered from either PCIe 12V or from 12V DC header.
- Support Raspberry Pi Compute module 4.
- Adopts ASM1184 controller, driver-free, plug-and-play.
- Do Not directly plug it into the PC motherboard.
Note
- When connecting to Compute Module 4 PoE 4G Board or the Compute Module 4 IO Board, no external power adapter is required.
- This adapter does not require a driver when using it except the PCIe devices.
- This module is PCIe Gen 2 × 1 expansion, the speed limit is 5Gbps, and no matter how to expand, the speed will not exceed this limit.
- The module is powered by 12V. When 12V cannot be provided, it can also be powered by 5V.
- The maximum output current of each PCIe interface 3.3V power supply must be less than 1.5A.
Supported Device
