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.

Questions about this item

How do I install this Mini PCI-E card and which bracket should I use?

Insert the card into an available Mini PCIe slot on the motherboard, then secure it with either the included 12 cm standard bracket or the 8 cm low-profile bracket for small-form-factor cases.

What ongoing maintenance does the SI-MPE24073 require?

No scheduled maintenance is required; keep the RJ45 port free of dust and verify the driver remains current through Windows Update or the supplied driver disk.

At what sustained throughput does the 2.5 Gigabit link become the bottleneck?

The 25000 Mbps Ethernet interface is the first limit under continuous heavy traffic, capping real-world throughput at 2.5 Gbps.
