2.1 Introduction

Flexible MiniPCI Express to PCI Bus Adapter (Adapter) is designed to support expansion of

modern motherboards with limited numbers of PCI or PCI Express Connectors. Adapter converts

the standard MiniPCI Express motherboard slot up-to 2 independent 32-bit PCI slots (allocated on

the backplane).

It includes MiniPCI Express Interface board (

Figure 1or Figure 2) and PCI Backplane (that

include 2 32-bit PCI slots) (

Figure 3). The MiniPCI Express Interface board can be “full size” or

“half size”. It has to be plugged into an upstream MiniPCI Express motherboard connector. PCI

Backplane connects to the MiniPCI Express Interface board via 12” Flex PCI Express cable. The

expansion 32-bit PCI add-in board has to be plugged into the standard 32-bit PCI connectors on

the PCI Backplane.

Because of the flexible nature of the connection (unlike traditional rigid risers), expansion PCI

add-in boards can be positioned away from the MiniPCI Express connector on the motherboard

inside a computer chassis. PCI Backplane has four mounting holes allowing them to be securely

fixed inside a computer chassis.
