3. 설정 및 설치

Before installation, ensure your computer is powered off and disconnected from the power source. Always handle components with care to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD).

1. 호환성 검사 : Verify that your motherboard has an available PCI-E 1X slot and that your power supply has the necessary 6-pin power connector (or SATA power if using an adapter) for the riser board. Ensure the physical dimensions of the extender and your graphics card fit within your computer case.
2. Connect 1X Adapter Card: Insert the PCI-E 1X adapter card into an available PCI-E 1X slot on your motherboard. Ensure it is seated firmly.
3. USB 3.0 케이블을 연결하세요: Connect one end of the provided USB 3.0 extension cable to the PCI-E 1X adapter card and the other end to the main PCI-E 16X extender board.
4. 그래픽 카드 설치: Carefully insert your graphics card into the PCI-E 16X slot on the extender board. Ensure it is fully seated and the locking mechanism (if present) is engaged. The design allows for easy removal and secure fixing of the graphics card.
5. 전력 공급: Connect a 6-pin power cable from your power supply to the 6-pin power input on the PCI-E 16X extender board. If your power supply only has SATA power connectors, use the provided 6-pin to SATA power cable (if included) to connect the riser board to a SATA power connector. 경고: Do not connect multiple power sources to the riser board simultaneously.
6. 보안 구성 요소: Position and secure the graphics card and extender board within your computer case. This may involve mounting the extender board to a case fan or other secure point, depending on your case design.

4. 운영

Once properly installed and powered, the MECCANIXITY V013 PRO extender operates passively, extending the PCI-E connection. The graphics card connected to the riser will function as if it were directly connected to the motherboard's PCI-E 16X slot.

The V013 PRO features an LED display for temperature control. This display provides real-time temperature readings, allowing users to monitor the operating temperature of the connected graphics card or the riser itself, depending on the sensor's placement. Refer to your graphics card's software for detailed performance monitoring and fan control.

5. 유지관리

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your PCI-E extender:

• 깨끗하게 유지하십시오: Periodically inspect the extender and connected components for dust accumulation. Use compressed air to gently clean dust from the board and connectors.
• 공기 흐름 확보: Maintain good airflow within your computer case to prevent overheating, especially for the graphics card and the riser board.
• 연결 확인: Occasionally verify that all cables and components are securely connected.
• 신체적 스트레스를 피하십시오: Do not bend or apply excessive force to the extender board or cables.

6. 문제 해결

If you encounter issues with your MECCANIXITY V013 PRO extender, consider the following:

• No Display/Graphics Card Not Detected:
  • Ensure all power cables (to the riser and graphics card) are securely connected and receiving power from the power supply.
  • Verify that the USB 3.0 cable is firmly connected to both the 1X adapter card and the 16X extender board.
  • Confirm the graphics card is fully seated in the 16X slot on the extender board.
  • Check that the 1X adapter card is properly seated in the motherboard's PCI-E 1X slot.
  • Test the graphics card by connecting it directly to the motherboard (if possible) to rule out a card issue.
  • Ensure your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings are configured correctly for PCI-E devices, especially if using multiple graphics cards or risers.
• 시스템 불안정/충돌:
  • Ensure your power supply has sufficient wattage to power all components, including the graphics card connected via the riser.
  • Check for overheating. Monitor temperatures using the riser's LED display or software. Improve case airflow if necessary.
  • Verify that all drivers for your graphics card are up to date.
• LED 디스플레이가 작동하지 않습니다:
  • Ensure the riser board is receiving power.
  • Check for any physical damage to the LED display area.
