Product Features
Unique reverse 90 degree adapter design:
Innovatively achieved reverse conversion from PCIE-1X to PCIE-1X, and adopted a 90 degree structural design. This unique form allows for flexible changes in the installation direction of devices inside the chassis, better adapting to environments with compact space and high wiring requirements such as 2U server chassis. The PCI-EX1 slot design with side openings further facilitates the insertion and removal of devices. Even in situations where the chassis space is limited, the connection between the device and the adapter card can be easily completed, optimizing the rationality of the hardware layout inside the chassis.
Wide device compatibility:
It demonstrates strong compatibility and can support various devices using PCI-E1X-4X-8X-16X. Regardless of the PCI-E device specifications, as long as it meets the above range, it can be connected through this adapter card. This feature greatly expands the scope of application of the product, facilitates users to integrate different types of hardware resources, achieves flexible expansion of server functions, and meets diverse server application scenarios, such as adding different performance network cards, storage expansion cards, and other devices to the server.
Stable transmission speed guarantee:
Although it supports multiple specifications of devices, the transmission speed is uniformly limited to 1x and follows the PCI-E3.0 transmission standard, enabling stable high-speed data transmission. The 1x channel of PCI-E3.0 has sufficient bandwidth to meet the data transmission needs of many conventional devices. For example, when transmitting relatively low-frequency but critical data such as management instructions and monitoring data in servers, it can ensure the accuracy and stability of transmission, providing a reliable communication link for the collaborative work between various components of the server.
Product Structure and Interface Introduction
PCI-EX1 slot:
The PCI-EX1 slot is built strictly in accordance with the PCI-E standard, with precise and error free internal pin layout. It uses high-quality metal materials to create contact points and has excellent conductivity and signal transmission capabilities. The design of the side opening is unique and the opening size is moderate, which not only facilitates the insertion of gold fingers into the device, but also ensures that the pins inside the slot will not be damaged during the insertion and removal process. The slot is equipped with sturdy and durable buckle devices around it. Through clever mechanical structure design, when the device is inserted into place, the buckle can automatically lock, ensuring that the device is stable in the slot and easy for users to disassemble, providing convenience and reliability guarantee for frequent device insertion and removal operations.
Overall adapter card structure:
Made with high-quality PCB boards, it has good electrical performance and mechanical strength, and can work stably in the complex electromagnetic environment and certain vibration conditions of server chassis. The 90 degree bent section has undergone special processing to ensure stable internal wiring connections, unaffected signal transmission, and a sturdy external structure that is not easily damaged. The size design of the entire adapter card is precisely adapted to the internal space of a 2U server chassis, and after installation, it will not interfere with other components inside the chassis, making it convenient for users to layout server hardware reasonably.
Performance advantages
Space utilization and layout optimization: The design of the 90 degree adapter card and the side opening slots perfectly match the spatial characteristics of the 2U server chassis, making the installation direction of devices inside the chassis more flexible, effectively utilizing the vertical space inside the chassis, avoiding wiring difficulties and installation inconveniences caused by device interface orientation and chassis space limitations, achieving a compact and reasonable hardware layout inside the chassis, and improving space utilization.
Convenient integration of hardware resources: The wide compatibility of devices allows users to easily connect PCI-E devices with different interface specifications to servers without worrying about compatibility issues. It facilitates the integration of existing hardware resources and quickly expands and upgrades server functions, such as increasing the number of network interfaces, expanding storage capacity, etc., reducing the cost and difficulty of server hardware upgrades, and improving the overall performance and applicability of servers.
Stable transmission guarantee operation: The stable 1x transmission speed of PCI-E3.0, although the bandwidth is relatively limited, is sufficient for many conventional data exchange scenarios in servers, ensuring accurate and stable data transmission, reducing the risk of server operation failure or data loss caused by unstable transmission, ensuring the collaborative work between server components, and maintaining long-term stable server operation, especially suitable for enterprise level application scenarios that require high data transmission stability.
Usage method
Install the adapter card to the chassis:
Firstly, open the 2U server chassis and find a suitable installation location, ensuring that there is enough space around the location to prevent interference with other hardware and facilitate subsequent device connections and wiring. Insert the PCI-E 90 degree adapter card that converts PCIE-1X to PCIE-1X in the opposite direction smoothly into the corresponding PCI-E slot of the chassis, ensuring that the adapter card is tightly integrated with the chassis slot, installed firmly, and avoiding looseness.
Connect the device to the adapter card:
According to the devices that need to be connected (such as network cards, storage expansion cards, etc.), align the PCI-E interface gold finger of the device with the PCI-EX1 slot on the upper side of the adapter card, slowly and smoothly insert it, paying attention to the correct insertion direction to avoid forcefully inserting and damaging the gold finger. Until the device is fully inserted and the slot buckle automatically tightens, ensuring a tight connection between the device and the adapter card, forming a stable electrical connection link, and preparing for subsequent data transmission.
Equipment usage and monitoring:
After completing the installation and connection of the adapter card and device, start the server, and the operating system will automatically recognize the devices connected through the adapter card. Users can configure and use the devices in a conventional way, such as installing the corresponding drivers (if needed), setting device parameters, etc. During the operation of the server, pay attention to the working status of the equipment, observe whether there are error messages, whether data transmission is normal, etc. If any abnormalities are found, promptly check whether the connection between the equipment and the adapter card is firm, investigate whether there are equipment failures or other compatibility issues, and ensure the stable operation of the server.
Applicable scenarios
Server hardware expansion: In the process of using a 2U server, as business needs increase, it is often necessary to expand the server's functionality, such as increasing the number of network interfaces to meet more network connection requirements, or adding storage expansion cards to expand storage capacity. This adapter card, with its compatibility and unique design, can easily connect devices of different interface specifications to servers, achieve flexible hardware expansion, improve server performance and functionality, and meet the growing business needs of enterprises.
Chassis space optimization: For environments with limited space such as 2U server chassis, device layout and wiring are often a challenge. The 90 degree adapter and side opening slot design of this adapter card can change the installation direction of the device, cleverly utilize the vertical space inside the chassis, avoid space waste and wiring confusion caused by device interface orientation issues, make the hardware layout inside the chassis cleaner and more reasonable, and facilitate the heat dissipation management and subsequent maintenance operations of the chassis.
Reuse of old devices: When updating server hardware, enterprises may have some old PCI-E devices (such as PCI-E1X -4X -8X -16X compliant network cards, expansion cards, etc.) idle. By using this adapter card, these old devices can be reconnected to a 2U server chassis to continue to function, achieve resource reuse, reduce hardware procurement costs for enterprises, and also comply with the concept of green environmental protection.
