Introduction Thank you for purchasing a StarTech.com PCI Express to Four Slot PCI Expansion Bay. This product allows you to add PCI expandability to your computer, using an available PCI Express or ExpressCard* slot, helping to bridge the gap between older PCI expansion cards and motherboards with newer interface capabilities.

When connecting the PCI expansion board to the PCI Express card, please ensure that the DVI port provided by PEX2PCI4 is not confused with a DVI port provided by the computer video card, as this could damage the video card, as well as the PCI Express expansion card and PCI expansion slot board.
