System Requirements
To install your PC cards cifX, you need a PC or a connecting device with a
PCI Express M.2 slot (host interface) for mounting the PC card.

Table 9: Host interface requirements
Comments:
(1) Required or permissible supply voltage
(2) Typical current consumption at 3.3 V. The typical current consumption
depends on the type of PC card. To ensure compatibility between different
systems, it is recommended to supply a maximum of 1 A (at +3.3 VDC
±5%).
(3) Required or tolerated signal voltage at the I/O signal pins on the PCIe
bus of the PC card
Host system
The basic card CIFX M223090AE is equipped with an ASIX Ax99100,
which prevents the card from running on host systems with IOBAR
functionality via PCIe host controllers, as the driver cannot access the SPI
registers. Use a host system with IOBAR functionality that does not run
through the PCIe host controller.
Mounting the basic card
In order to mount the basic card, the board on which the PCI Express slot is
located must have a corresponding erection bolt for screwing the basic card
on. The dimension for the positioning of the erection bolt can be taken from
the dimension drawing for the basic board provided in this manual.
Operating system
