If you have a PCI Express type peripheral card, you can use it outside of the computer system, on ExpressCard notebook, with our xprs-host-ec product


Software support
The XPRS line of products function on all operating systems which have support for PCI Express and ExpressCard based (notebook) systems.

Pre-order Considerations

1. Add a host card. The xprs-pci-x1 is supported by xprs-host-ec on a notebook system with an ExpressCard slot

2. Powering .
PCI Express cards require 3.3V for powering, and optionally may use also +12V for powering.
If a peripheral card uses 3.3V with low current consumption, the card may be powered directly through the cables.
If a peripheral card uses 3.3V & 12V you can contact us to get and use our PWR-12V product to have 3.3V & 12V power supplied to XPRS-PX-X16 and the PCI Express card.

In general, PCI Express -x16 cards have high current consumption, beyond the amount of current provided through the cables.
In such case, you can connect to XPRS-PX-X1 a standard ATX external power supply.

3. Enclosures. The XPRS-PX-X16 together with the PCI Express type card may be mounted in an enclosure.
Small PCI Express card may be put in ISA-PCI-B1 enclosure.
Longer and larger PCI Express card may be put in our ISA-PCI-B2 (recommended)  enclosure.
