## Summary description

The StarTech.com Mini PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Network Adapter provides a wired connection with a maximum data transfer rate of 1000 Mbit/s. Ideal for enhancing network connectivity in internal applications, it supports Mini PCI Express interface for easy integration.

## Long description

The StarTech.com ST1000SMPEX Mini PCI Express Gigabit Network Adapter adds 1000 Mbps wired network connectivity to Mini PCI Express (PCI Express Mini Card, Mini PCIe) enabled systems such as Mini-ITX motherboards. The card is designed for small form factor and embedded systems that lack built-in Gigabit Ethernet or when a full‑size PCI Express slot is not available. A low profile/half‑height bracket is included for flexible installation options.
Advantages
This Mini PCIe Gigabit Ethernet adapter supports NDIS5 checksum and Large Send Offload to reduce CPU utilization, and it supports jumbo frames and IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging for improved network efficiency and segmentation. The card also supports Wake‑on‑LAN (WOL) and Remote Wake‑up power management features, making it suitable for managed and remotely maintained systems. The Mini PCI Express form factor fits many Mini‑ITX and embedded motherboards.
Suitable for
 Adding Gigabit Ethernet to Mini‑ITX or embedded systems
 Upgrading small form factor PCs without full‑size PCIe slots
 Embedded applications requiring wired 1000 Mbit/s connectivity
 Network setups needing VLAN tagging or jumbo frame support

How to use
Install the ST1000SMPEX into a compatible Mini PCI Express slot on the motherboard, secure it with the mounting screw, and attach the appropriate bracket (standard or low profile) if required. After hardware installation, boot the system and install the correct driver for your operating system if it is not detected automatically. Configure network settings in the operating system network manager and enable features such as Wake‑on‑LAN, jumbo frames or VLAN tagging as needed through driver or OS network configuration tools.
Usage recommendations
Use the adapter in systems with a compatible Mini PCIe slot and verify driver support for your operating system. Enable jumbo frames and Large Send Offload only when the network infrastructure and other devices support these features to ensure compatibility and performance. For remote management, confirm Wake‑on‑LAN is supported by the motherboard and BIOS settings are configured accordingly.
