HP tarjeta hija de ranura de expansión PCI

Unlock legacy expansion capabilities on your HP workstation or server with this proprietary daughter card. It adds two 32-bit PCI slots and one 64-bit PCI-X slot, supporting bus speeds up to 133 MHz for PCI-X and 66 MHz for PCI. The universal 3.3V/5V slot voltage ensures compatibility with a wide range of legacy cards. Engineered for specific HP Z-series, xw-series, and ProLiant G5/G6 systems, this riser card plugs directly into the dedicated motherboard connector, requiring no additional power.

Overview

The HP 696971-001 is a proprietary expansion slot daughter card designed to provide legacy PCI and PCI-X expansion capabilities to compatible HP workstations and servers. It features a green FR-4 PCB and a host interface that connects directly to the motherboard's dedicated connector. This card is ideal for users who need to integrate older PCI-based peripherals, such as network adapters, sound cards, or specialized I/O controllers, into modern HP systems that lack native legacy slots.
