PCI302 - Operation & Maintenance Instructions Manual
16
NOTE (*)
PCI302 v2.0 card follows PCI bus specification version 2.1. However it is recommended to be
used on PCI bus specification version 2.2 systems.
To operate on a PCI v2.1 specification system, the 5 volts keyed PCI connectors must provide 3.3
volts power. This characteristic is optional in PCI 2.1 specification but many of such systems
provide 3.3 volts on all connectors. In PCI 2.2 specification this 3.3 volts supply is a requirement.
Therefore PCI302v2.0 operates normally on PCI 2.2 specification systems.
To identify the PCI bus specification version, it is necessary to check the PC´s manufacturer
documentation. The PCI specification version 2.2 was released in December of 1998. Since then,
many PC systems have been built PCI bus specification 2.2 compliant.
