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.
For more information on using PCIe cards, please refer to your computer’s user manual or system documentation.
Note that a physical x16 slot (in length) can electrically be connected as x4 or less. Therefore it is important to consult your motherboard’s user manual to verify the actual bandwidth supported by the slot.
