Product Structure and Interface Introduction

PCI-E4X slot:

The internal pin layout is strictly crafted according to the PCI-E4X standard, using high-quality copper alloy material to ensure excellent conductivity, and each pin surface is treated with a special anti-oxidation coating to extend its service life. The side opening design ensures convenient insertion and removal of the device, while also using clever internal guidance and fixing structures to ensure precise alignment and tight and stable connection when inserting the device. After the device is inserted into place, it automatically locks, effectively preventing poor contact caused by vibration, shaking, and other factors, providing a solid guarantee for the long-term stable operation of the device.

NGFF (M.2) KEY-M Gold Finger:

Made of high-precision PCB board, the size tolerance of the gold finger is controlled within a very small range to ensure perfect compatibility with the motherboard slot. Adopting a multi-layer composite metal structure, surface gold plating treatment further enhances conductivity, and an internally reinforced signal transmission layer ensures high-speed and stable data transmission. The root of the golden finger is connected to the main body of the adapter card through advanced compression technology, ensuring dual reliability of mechanical strength and electrical performance. It is not easily deformed or damaged during frequent insertion and removal, and always maintains a stable signal transmission link.

4PIN auxiliary power supply interface:

The 4PIN interface design is simple and practical, following the universal SATA power interface standard, making it convenient for users to connect using existing SATA power cords. The internal pins of the interface are made of highly conductive metal materials to ensure efficient and smooth power transmission, and have good compatibility. They can adapt to different specifications of SATA power lines, providing stable and reliable auxiliary power for the equipment to meet its additional power needs.

Main structure of adapter card:

Made from high-quality multi-layer PCB boards, it has excellent electrical insulation performance and mechanical strength, and can work stably in complex electromagnetic environments. The internal circuit layout of the board is reasonable, using multi-layer wiring technology to effectively isolate different signal lines and avoid signal interference. The external dimensions of the adapter card have been precisely designed to adapt to the internal space of common computer cases and facilitate user operations such as device connection and wiring, providing a convenient foundation for hardware system construction and expansion.

Usage method

Installation of adapter card:

Firstly, turn off the computer power, open the chassis, and find the appropriate PCI-E slot and NGFF (M.2) KEY-M slot to ensure sufficient surrounding space and unobstructed installation and wiring of subsequent devices. Align the NGFF (M.2) KEY-M gold finger of the adapter card with the corresponding slot on the motherboard, slowly and smoothly insert it until the gold finger is fully embedded, ensuring a tight fit without any signs of looseness. Then, align the PCI-E4X slot of the adapter card with the selected PCI-E slot in the chassis, insert it in the same way, and hear a crisp "click" sound to indicate that it is installed in place. At this point, check again whether the adapter card is securely fixed.

Device connection:

According to actual needs, select suitable PCI-E devices (such as graphics cards, storage expansion cards, etc.), align their golden fingers with the PCI-E4X slot on the side of the adapter card, pay attention to the correct insertion direction, slowly insert, and feel the internal buckle of the slot automatically locking the device. If an M.2 device is connected, ensure that its size meets the 2260/2280 specifications supported by the adapter card. Gently insert the M.2 device into the NGFF (M.2) KEY-M gold finger end of the adapter card until it is fully inserted and securely fixed. For devices that require auxiliary power supply, use a SATA power cable to connect the 4PIN pin auxiliary power supply interface of the adapter card to the SATA power supply interface of the power supply, ensuring that the power cable is tightly connected without looseness or virtual connection.

Usage and monitoring:

After completing the connection and installation between the adapter card and the device, start the computer and the system will automatically recognize the devices connected through the adapter card. Users can perform corresponding driver installation, parameter configuration, and other operations according to the device type and conventional procedures, such as installing the latest drivers to optimize graphics performance for graphics cards and setting appropriate storage modes for M.2 SSDs. During the operation of the computer, closely monitor the working status of the equipment, and use the system's built-in monitoring tools and software to monitor key indicators such as data transmission rate, equipment temperature, and error messages in real time. Once abnormalities are detected, such as a sudden drop in transmission rate, equipment overheating, or frequent error reports, the machine should be stopped immediately, and the connection between the equipment and the adapter card should be carefully checked for looseness, oxidation of the gold finger, and correct connection of the power supply line. The hidden faults should be identified and resolved to ensure stable operation of the computer.
