The SOUND4 PCI Express card is PCI Express Rev. 1.1 compliant and use 1 lane (x1).
You can however plug the card in a slot with more lanes, thanks to PCIe auto-negotiation.
Contents
Caution
* Ensure the SOUND4 PCIe card will have sufficient airflow for heat dissipation. Otherwise you may encounter malfunctions. * Kindly check that the SOUND4 PCIe card components don't touch any mainboard component or metal part. Otherwise you may destroy the PCIe board or the PC.
Stream x2/x4/x8 and Voice-L versions
This version has only 1 Ethernet connector.
FM and IP versions
This version has 1 Ethernet connector and 1 I/O connector (High Density SUBD 62 pins).
On the other (inner) side, there is a power socket ("MOLEX" IDE HDD kind) that must be connected to standard PC power supply cord if analog I/O is used. Note that a IDE to SATA converter cord is usually needed (provided by SOUND4).
Dimensions
This is a Full-Height card (111.15 mm), with a length of 185 mm (so between Half-Length and Full-Length).
NOTE: The power connector for analog I/O needs more length available for the external cord and connector.
Integration examples
Four STREAM x8 in a DELL R720.
One IMPACT in a DELL R210 with the Analog power connector.
