# Introduction

The ADLINK PCIS-8580 is a PCI-to-PCI bus expansion system StarFabric high-speed serial link technology can expand PCI bus of a host computer to an external chassis, accommodating 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.
