1. These things are extremely finicky. You are trying to put up an entirely different bus on top of another one (PCI over PCIe in this case). Neither of them were generally designed for such a scenario in mind. My advice is, if you are not able to make it work, don’t push it. Look for alternate solutions. This isn’t like USB devices that always works. It worked for me. May or may not work for you.
2. Rule 1 – If you are working with PCI/PCIe cards, the power cable needs to be _unplugged_ from your machine. Just shutting down the system isn’t enough. You need to physically turn off the power from the wall socket. Inserting/removing a card from the slot while the machine is connected to power (never mind turned on) may result in either frying the card or your motherboard or both. When inserting a card into a slot, put gentle bur firm pressure so that it fits all the way in and the pins are connected properly. If the pins are loose, your computer won’t boot up (or worse).
3. Do not insert the guest PCI card into the adapter first. First attach the adapter alone into a PCIe slot on your host machine’s motherboard. This adapter needs a power supply via a standard Molex 4-pin jack. There should be a spare jack inside your CPU box, hanging empty. Just plug it in. If all jacks are occupied, you can buy a Molex splitter cable from your neighborhood PC shop for a few bucks. After you have attached the power jack, turn on your computer. My Win7 system detected and installed the drivers automatically. Newer OS’ should be able to do the same. On XP, you may need to google for drivers. No guarantee that you will find one though. The card didn’t come with any driver CD. No idea about Linux.
4. If you are able to get the adapter card detected and drivers installed, you should be able to see it in “Device Manager” –> “System Devices” –> “PCI bus” and “PCI standard PCI-to-PCI bridge”.
5. Turn off your machine and unplug. Now put the guest PCI card into the adapter attached to the motherboard. Once you turn on your machine again, it should detect the PCI card and may prompt for drivers and it should show up in device manager. Simply install the drivers for your PCI card and you should be good to go.
6. Finding drivers for your PCI card may be difficult for Win10 and above. If your card is older than 2009 even Win7 may be difficult. But as always, google is there. Don’t search with the PCI card’s brand name (like Frontech/Enter/Zebronics). Search with the name of the onboard chip of the PCI card. Typically the name would be written on the chip itself.
7. The next set of problem is that this card-on-card rig may not physically fit/align inside your case. The adapter card is half height and has a opening cut in the bracket which is good, but if your guest PCI card is full height (or in some cases even half height, like mine), it won’t align with the slots in your case’s backplane. You may have to unscrew the brackets from both cards to make them fit. Warning! Without the brackets you may accidentally push the cards out of their slots when plugging things into them, while the system is running! So be careful. Or you can do what I did and buy a riser cable and place the cards outside the motherboard edge. This isn’t a full proof solution either but better than no brackets.
8. The guest PCI card I was able to install is a C-Media 8738 4 channel PCI sound card from 2012. Luckily the installation CD of this card had drivers for 64 bit Win7. So if you are planning to buy this adapter, do the homework first – see if you can find the drivers for the card for your host OS. If not, there is no point in buying this adapter.

I am thrilled to announce that the product works the way described. I have a PCIx4 sata expansion card with 4 ports. On my new motherboard only had PCIx1 ports. Dur to this i was not able to use the sata card and was not able to connect my extra drives. But once i got this product the conversion from PCI x1 to X4 was smooth. No hassle and easy to connect. Just plug the card on motherboard and insert the sata or another card you want to convert into this. Works smooth
