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.
- The module is powered by 12V. When 12V cannot be provided, it can also be powered by 5V.
- Use 5V power supply, the power will flow back to the PCIe 12V, you need to ensure that it will not affect the normal operation of the motherboard and then use 5V power supply.
- The maximum output current of each PCIe interface 3.3V power supply must be less than 1.5A.
Supported Device
