Interface Card DeLOCK 41428 PCIe USB 3.2 Gen 1

The DeLOCK 41428 is an internal interface card in M.2 2260 form factor that provides a PCI Express x16 slot via an M.2 Key B or Key M connection. It enables relocating a PCIe x16 slot to a different position inside the chassis so a graphics card or other PCIe x16 device can be installed where space or airflow is more suitable. Multiple riser cards can be used on one motherboard to operate several graphics cards simultaneously for workloads such as cryptocurrency mining or multi‑GPU compute setups.

Advantages

The card converts an M.2 Key B or Key M slot into a full-size PCIe x16 slot while keeping a compact M.2 2260 footprint. It supports PCI Express connectivity for x16 devices and includes a USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface for compatible connections. The small form factor and included USB cable simplify installation in space-constrained builds.

Suitable for

• Installing a full‑size graphics card into a case using an M.2 slot
• Multi‑GPU setups where PCIe slots need to be relocated
• Systems requiring flexible component placement for improved cooling or space management

How to use

Insert the DeLOCK 41428 into an available M.2 Key B or Key M slot on the motherboard. Secure the card according to the motherboard’s M.2 retention method. Connect the provided USB cable if required by your setup to enable the card’s USB 3.2 Gen 1 functionality. Mount the PCIe x16 device (for example, a graphics card) into the relocated PCIe x16 slot and secure it in the chassis. Ensure the system is powered off and grounded while installing to avoid damage.

Recommendations

Use this riser in cases with adequate ventilation and with power supply capacity sufficient for any installed PCIe x16 devices. Verify motherboard support for operating PCIe lanes via M.2 slots and check compatibility of the connected graphics cards or peripherals with the adapter before installation.
