Introduction to PCI Express
For the last 10 years, PCI has been the mainstream interface
for personal PCs, with nearly every computer using the
same PCI bus specification—32-bit, running at 33MHz, and
yielding a maximum data-transfer rate of only 133.3Mbps.
In today’s information age, with data size growing
exponentially, there is increased demand for faster transfer
rates. This demand led to Intel’s development of the PCI
Express standard, which offers increased speed and stability
for data transfers.
Common PCI Express bus forms include x1, x2, x4, x8,
and x16, with each form being characterized by a unique
slot design. A one-path transmission on a one-lane (x1) PCI
Express bus can reach speeds of up to 250MB—nearly
double the standard PCI transmission speed. A 16-lane (x16)
PCI Express bus can reach speeds of up to 16Gbps.

1. Shut down your computer and disconnect all connected
devices and peripherals.
2. Remove the cover from your computer. Refer to your
computer manufacturer’s user manual for details on how
to do this. Touch any bare metal portion of your computer
case to discharge yourself of any static electricity. This
prevents damage to your computer and the PCI Express
Card.
3. Locate the PCI Express slot on your computer’s main
circuit board. Remove the metal plate that covers the
rear slot corresponding to the PCI Express slot you have
selected (see image below).
4. Remove the PCI Express Card from its protective anti-
static packaging. Handle it by the metal bracket; do not
touch the gold-edged connectors. Insert the PCI Express
Card into the PCI Express slot, carefully aligning the rear
bracket to the computer case. Make sure that the edge of
the PCI Express Card is fully inserted into the slot.

Qu’est-ce que le PCI Express ?
Au cours des 10 dernières années, le PCI a fait office
d’interface de choix pour les ordinateurs personnels :
presque chaque ordinateur est doté du même bus PCI 32
bits à 33 MHz, offrant une bande passante maximum de
133,3 Mbps. Aujourd’hui, à l’ère de l’information, la taille
des données augmente exponentiellement, ce qui accroît
la demande pour des débits de transfert plus rapide. Cette
demande amena Intel à développer la norme PCI Express,
qui procure des transferts de données plus rapides et plus
fiables.
Les bus PCI Express standard comprennent les formules
x1, x2, x4, x8, et x16, chacune d’entre elles ayant un type
de connecteur unique. Une transmission à chemin unique
sur un bus PCI Express à voie unique (x1) peut atteindre un
débit pouvant aller jusqu’à 250 Mo, près du double du débit
standard PCI. Un bus PCI Express à 16 voies (x16) peut
atteindre une bande passante de 16 Gbps.

1. Éteignez votre ordinateur et débranchez tous les
périphériques connectés.
2. Retirez le capot de l’ordinateur. Reportez-vous au manuel
de l’utilisateur du fabricant de l’ordinateur pour savoir
comment faire. Touchez une partie métallique du boîtier
afin de vous décharger de toute électricité statique. Ceci
évite d’endommager votre ordinateur et la Carte PCI
Express.
3. Recherchez l’emplacement PCI Express sur la carte
mère de votre ordinateur. Retirez la plaque métallique qui
recouvre l’ouverture arrière correspondant à la fente PCI
Express sélectionnée (voir l’illustration ci-dessous).
4. Retirez la carte PCI Express de son emballage protecteur
anti-statique. Manipulez-la uniquement par les fixations
métallique. Ne touchez pas les connecteurs dorés.
Insérez la carte PCI Express dans la fente PCI Express en
alignant correctement la fixation arrière sur le boîtier de
l’ordinateur. Assurez-vous que la carte PCI Express est
bien insérée dans son emplacement.
