Install Host Interface Card

The PCI Express (PCIe) Host interface card allows you to connect the PE3R and PE3R-3.3V expansion chassis units to a PCI Express host
computer. The host system requires at least an x1 PCIe connector to facilitate this host card.
Install the Host adapter in a free PCIe slot on the host motherboard and then secure its bracket with the Phillips screw.
Notice that the PCI Express slots are located at a greater distance from the edge of the computer's motherboard compared to the standard PCI
slots as illustrated in the picture below.
STOP
YOU MUST ONLY INSTALL THE PCIe HOST CARD INTO A PCI EXPRESS SLOT.
Only use cards WITH brackets. This will ensure that your PCIe host card can only be inserted into a PCIe slot. Although PCI
Express cards without brackets may fit into conventional PCI slots, you run the risk of damaging the PCI Express host card if
you insert it into a PCI slot. Please ensure that your host computer has PCI Express slots and install the host card only into
a PCI Express slot.
