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.

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.
