Specifications and service checks
| Catalog subcategory | Storage and disk controllers |
|---|---|
| Exact model / part identifier | PEXESAT322I |
| Bus / host interface | PCI Express x1 |
| Verified interfaces / protocols | Two SATA 6 Gb/s ports configurable as internal SATA or external eSATA connections; use the manufacturer manual for supported port combinations. |
| OS / driver / firmware caveat | Install the driver package applicable to the host OS before use if the OS does not bind a built-in driver. Boot support depends on motherboard firmware and its option-ROM/boot policy; do not assume hot-swap support outside the documented drive and OS combination. |
| Service note | Check the card label for PEXESAT322I, install the supplied bracket appropriate to the chassis, and do not connect internal and external routes simultaneously unless the manual explicitly allows that configuration. |
Installation and archival notes
- Record the board model, revision, serial/date code, firmware, bracket, accessories, and the documentation revision used to identify the unit.
- Confirm the host slot's electrical wiring/keying, required power, supported OS/driver, and any platform or option-ROM restriction in the cited model documentation.
- Use ESD precautions. Do not infer pinout, compatibility, protocol, boot support, or revision equivalence from a similar connector or product-family name.
Check the card label for PEXESAT322I, install the supplied bracket appropriate to the chassis, and do not connect internal and external routes simultaneously unless the manual explicitly allows that configuration.
