Fits Mini PCIe slots

The Vszerda SI-MPE24073 adds a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port to any desktop or server that has a free Mini PCI Express slot. It is not compatible with standard PCIe slots. The card includes both a 12 cm full-height bracket and an 8 cm low-profile bracket for small form factor cases. A driver disk is supplied for installation.

Thermals and power draw

The adapter draws power directly from the Mini PCIe slot and has no active cooling, so it adds no audible noise to the system. Its low-profile design keeps airflow paths clear inside compact chassis. Power consumption remains within the slot specification during normal network traffic.

Build integration

Installation requires an available Mini PCIe socket and one rear bracket opening. The included low-profile bracket enables use in shallow HTPC or server enclosures. No auxiliary power cables or software licences are needed. The card frees up a standard PCIe slot for other expansion cards.
