## Summary description

StarTech 7-Port PCI USB Adapter Card adds seven USB 2.0 ports via a PCI/PCI‑X host interface, using the VIA/VLI VT6212 chipset. Designed as a PCI 2.2 expansion card, it supports Windows, macOS and various Windows Server versions and is suitable for expanding legacy desktops, servers or workstation connectivity.

## Long description

The StarTech PCI USB 2.0 Expansion Card provides seven additional USB 2.0 ports for a PCI/PCI‑X capable desktop or server. Using the VIA/VLI VT6212 chipset, the card installs into a standard PCI slot and delivers four external USB A ports, one internal USB A female port and two internal motherboard header connections. It supports USB 2.0 transfer speeds up to 480 Mbps while remaining backward compatible with USB 1.1 devices.
Advantages
This PCI expansion card enables easy USB expansion without replacing the system motherboard, offering a mix of external and internal ports for peripherals and internal connections. Its compatibility with common operating systems and support for standard USB 2.0 speeds ensures broad device interoperability and reliable data transfer for legacy systems.
Suitable for
Adding multiple USB ports to older desktops or workstations with open PCI slots
Expanding USB connectivity in servers that accept PCI/PCI‑X cards
Connecting external peripherals (keyboards, mice, printers, storage) and providing internal USB headers for front-panel or internal devices
When it may not be suitable
This card requires an available PCI or PCI‑X slot and is intended for systems with a compatible physical slot and operating system drivers. It provides USB 2.0 speeds (up to 480 Mbps) and is not a replacement for higher-speed USB 3.x solutions when faster transfer rates are needed.
Key specifications
Number of ports: 7 total (4 external USB A, 1 internal USB A female, 2 internal motherboard header)
Host interface: PCI / PCI‑X (PCI 2.2 compatible)
USB standard: USB 2.0 (backward compatible with USB 1.1)
Maximum data transfer rate: up to 480 Mbps (USB 2.0)
Chipset: VIA/VLI VT6212
Form factor: PCI expansion card for desktop/server installation
How to use
Power down the computer, open the case and insert the card into an available PCI or PCI‑X slot. Secure the card to the chassis, connect any required internal USB header cables to front-panel or internal devices, and close the case. Boot the system and install the appropriate drivers if the operating system does not provide them automatically. After driver installation, connect external USB devices to the A ports and verify functionality.
What to consider before purchase
Verify your system has an available PCI or PCI‑X slot and physical space for the expansion card
Confirm operating system driver support for the VIA/VLI VT6212 chipset on your OS version
Assess whether USB 2.0 performance (up to 480 Mbps) meets your speed requirements compared with USB 3.x alternatives
Usage recommendations
For best results, use this StarTech 7‑port PCI USB card in legacy desktops or servers needing additional USB 2.0 connectivity. Reserve high‑bandwidth tasks (large file transfers, modern NVMe or USB 3.x devices) for systems with USB 3.x ports, and ensure drivers are installed to achieve full functionality.
