The DeLOCK Riser PCIe x8 to PCIe x16 (model 89166) enables flexible installation by extending a PCI Express slot. Connect a PCIe card to the riser card and insert the riser into a PCIe x8 motherboard slot to provide a PCIe x16 connection. The adapter supports a 20.32 mm (0.8 inch) extension and is intended for internal use in PC systems.

Advantages

This riser card converts a PCIe x8 host interface to a PCIe x16 output interface, allowing the use of longer or differently positioned PCIe x16 cards. It uses wired PCIe technology for reliable high-speed data transfer and is compact for straightforward internal installation.

How to use

Power down the PC and open the case. Insert the riser card into the motherboard's PCIe x8 slot, then connect the PCIe x16 card to the riser output. Ensure all connectors are firmly seated and secure any necessary mounting brackets. Close the case and power on the system to verify the card is detected by the motherboard and operating system.

Recommendations

Use the riser only for internal installations and ensure compatibility with the motherboard slot and the PCIe card form factor. Avoid bending the riser beyond its intended angle and confirm that the 20.32 mm extension is sufficient for your configuration before installation.
