PCI-to-PCI Expansion Systems
Introduction
The ADLINK PCIS-8580 is a PCI-to-PCI expansion system to expand the PCI buses of host computers. With
its state-of-the-art StarFabric high-speed serial link technology, you can expand your PCI bus of a host
computer to an external chassis, which accommodates four (PCIS-8580-4S) or 13 (PCIS-8580-13S)
additional PCI slots. This advanced technology provides full 32-bit/33 MHz PCI bandwidth (132 MB/s) and a
maximum of 10 M distance between host computer and expansion chassis. The ADLINK PCI-to-PCI
expansion system utilizes the concept of “serialized bridge” to provide complete hardware and software
transparency to your host system. Any hardware installed in the extension chassis works as if it is directly
installed inside the host system without the need for additional drivers or software.
PCIS-8580-4S
The ADLINK PCIS-8580 PCI-to-PCI expansion system is composed of three major components: a PCI
expansion card (LPCI-8575), an expansion chassis (RK-8005/RK-8014), and a cable (ACL-PCIEXT-2). The
PCI expansion card is the core of this system. It acts as a PCI bridge with the capability to serialize PCI
signals and maintain a 5 Gbps serial link between the host system and expansion chassis. The expansion
chassis, which is a 4-slot wall-mount chassis (RK-8005) or a 13-slot rack-mount chassis (RK-8014), is the
platform to accommodate PCI slots. It contains a backplane, a power supply, and a pre-installed PCI
extension card. The cable, which consists of DVI-D connector and shielding twisted pairs, provides robust
connectivity and maintains proper signal quality between the host computer and the expansion chassis.
