</div>You raise a very important point. This device uses a BRACKET, but not a<br>
motherboard SLOT.<br>
In other words, it hangs free in one of the chassis slots that do not<br>
have a corresponding slot on the motherboard.<br>
If you do not have a bracket slot, you could mount it externally, but<br>
you'd have to engineer a way to hold it.</blockquote><div><br>and power it ... <br><br>Maybe, an external USB port could be used to power the board but the "enclosure" question remains ...<br><br><br></div>

<br>
FYI, As an analog failover device it can fail over as many as 4 analog<br>
lines. I think it's a really attractive value proposition.<br>
