PCI Express Card Slot Requirements

For optimal performance:

1623 Grablink DualBase , 1622 Grablink Full and 1626 Grablink Full XR must be plugged into a x4, x8 or x16 PCI Express Gen 1 (or higher) card connector providing at least four active lanes.
1624 Grablink Base must be plugged into a x1, x4, x8 or x16 PCI Express Gen 1 (or higher) card connector.

To guarantee proper operation and longer board reliability, ensure an adequate cooling of the card. The cooling is improved by a higher air flow circulating around the board. This air flow is increased, for example, by using computer case fans. In addition, avoid placing a Grablink card next to other heat dissipating boards.
