## Long description

This low profile PCIe x1 to x16 slot extension adapter by StarTech (model PEX1TO162) provides a PCIe host interface and a PCIe x16 output, enabling installation of PCIe expansion cards in a motherboard x1 slot via an extension cable. The compact red module measures 44.3 × 127 × 8 mm and is designed for internal mounting. It is CE/REACH/TAA certified and supports maximum data transfer rates up to 2.5 Gbit/s, allowing use of larger PCIe cards where motherboard slot availability is limited.
Advantages
The adapter expands compatibility between an x1 host slot and x16 (and intermediate) PCIe cards without requiring motherboard replacement. Its low profile form factor and small footprint make it suitable for tight internal spaces and compact systems. Being an internal mount module in red colour, it can be integrated into workstations or servers while maintaining a minimal weight. Certifications such as CE and REACH indicate conformity with relevant safety and material standards.
Suitable for
 Installing a PCIe x2, x4, x8 or x16 card into a motherboard PCIe x1 slot
 Upgrading small form factor or low profile systems with additional PCIe devices
 Add-on cards requiring internal mounting in workstations or servers

How to use
Power down the computer and disconnect it from the mains before installation. Open the system chassis and locate an available PCIe x1 slot on the motherboard. Mount the adapter internally according to system space and alignment, then connect the adapter's host interface to the PCIe x1 slot. Insert the PCIe card into the x16 output connector on the adapter and secure the card and adapter in place if required by the chassis. Reassemble the system, reconnect power, and start the computer. The operating system should detect the installed card; install any necessary drivers provided by the card manufacturer.
Usage recommendations
Use this adapter when physical slot compatibility prevents direct installation of a larger PCIe card; verify that the chosen card's power and performance requirements are compatible with operation through an x1 host connection and ensure adequate cooling and clearance within the chassis.
