2. Host side - requirements of the systems

Host card comes as a kit which include the card, cables and other accessories - if needed.

   

Since almost all desktop systems have PCI Express connectors where peripheral cards can be mounted, most desktop systems support our XPRS-HOST-DT product.



The laptop / notebook system has to have an ExpressCard slot - type34 or type54, on order to use XPRS-HOST-EC .

Information on ExpressCard interface and form-factor is available on this link .
