# 1 Introduction

This chapter introduces the PCES-8581-4S/13S PCI Express®-to-PCI Extension System, presents a general overview and basic applications, its package contents, specifications, and features.

# 1.1 Overview

Harnessing the bandwidth potential of PCI Express $^{®}$ , the PCES-8581-4S and the PCES-8581-13S smart extension systems enable computers with a PCI Express $^{®}$ slot to remotely manage and control up to 13 PCI devices, using the high-speed PCI Express $^{®}$ interface. These extension systems operate in 32-bit/33 MHz configuration and come with complete end-to-end hardware and software transparency for the host system. Hardware devices installed in the extension system behave and work as if they are directly installed on the host system, requiring no additional drivers or software installation.

The host system may be separated from the extension system at up to seven meters using high-quality shielded twisted copper cables. The robust and reliable PCI Express®-to-PCI extension systems are suited for portable test and measurement applications with high-density I/O requirement and are ideal in hazardous industrial control and automation environments.

# 1.1.1 Controlling PCI with PCI Express®

Based on PCI Express $^{®}$ technology, PCES-8581-4S and PCES-8581-13S provide bus expansion capability through the high-speed differential signal interface. The PCES-8581-4S and PCES-8581-13S use a signal equalizer and a PCI Express $^{®}$ -to-PCI bridge to architecture a PCI Express $^{®}$ to PCI extension system. With our PCES-8581-4S and PCES-8581-13S, user can use an available PCI Express $^{®}$ slot to control an external PCI chassis. Because the PCI Express $^{®}$ Bridge is a transparent bridge, there is no need to install any additional software when using PCI devices in the external chassis.

The PCES-8581-13S and PCES-8581-4S implement a PCI Express $^{®}$ -based control of PCI modules. The technology consists of a PCIe-8560 card installed in the host computer, a shielded cable, and the extension system. The PCIe-8560 comes in a PCI Express $^{®}$ x1 footprint and communicates with the extension system's low-profile PCI-8565 via a twisted and shielded cable. The PCI-8565 converts the PCI Express $^{®}$ interface into a PCI bridge for additional PCI slots in the extension system.

The link between host PC and the external chassis is a PCI Express $^{®}$ X1 link that represents a dual-simplex communications channel consisting of two, low-voltage differentially driven signal pairs. The signaling rate can reach up to 2.5 Gbps in each direction. Using the shielded and twisted cable, the maximum extension distance can be up to 7 M without decreasing the signal rate.

Below the triangle, the word 'CAUTION:' appears in black capital letters.](.pces-8581-13s-manual-2/5b3db4d895dd81357d2d33586be096e7fc24cebccbb614bb15299dcccf1feefb.jpg)

DO NOT remove the cable after the system and extension chassis are powered on. Disconnecting the cable while the system is running may cause unpredictable system errors and/or system crash.

As the PCI Express $^{®}$ -to-PCI extension system is a standard PCIe-to-PCI bridge interface, the BIOS will identify each device behind the PCI bridge and assign resource to each one during start up. Thus users have to power-on the remote chassis first in order to get appropriate resources from the BIOS.

To power-off the PCI Express $^{®}$ extension system, follow these steps:

1. Power-off the host PC.
2. Power-off the extension chassis.

![The image displays a yellow triangular warning sign with a black border containing a large black exclamation point. Below the triangle, the text 'CAUTION:' is printed in black capital letters.](.pces-8581-13s-manual-2/e771a46347f41e7ba5c727d98b4628af26c9ffea300d6a37799f3505cc85aec0.jpg)

DO NOT power-off the extension chassis until the host PC is powered off. If the extension chassis is powered off while the host PC is on, the host PC may hang or crash.

# 2.6 Remote Power-ON/OFF Functionality

Optional functionality of the PCI express $^{®}$ extension system includes remote power-on/off via the ADLINK BP-8014 backplane.

Once the BP-8014 is properly connected, configured, and enabled, users may remotely power-on/off the extension chassis via a host PC.

The following table lists the connectors that enable remote power-on/off functionality.

<table><tr><td>Part Number</td><td>Connector/Jumper</td><td>Function</td></tr><tr><td>PCI-8565</td><td>JP1</td><td>A signal is sent from JP1 on PCI-8565 which enables the RK-8014 to power-on when the host PC is powered on.</td></tr><tr><td>BP-8014</td><td>JP2</td><td>ATX power enabling connector for BP-8014</td></tr></table>

# 4 Troubleshooting (FAQ)

This chapter describes frequently asked questions that may guide the user to solve minors problem they may encounter.

This Troubleshooting (FAQ) applies to:

PCI Express®-to-PCI Extension System: including PCES-8581-13S and PCES-8581-4S.
PCI Express-to-PXI Extension Kit: including PCIe-8560 and PXI-8565.

In the following description, the products will be renamed as "PCI Express® Bus Extension Products".

Question: What is the maximum extension length of PCI Express® Bus Extension Products?

Answer: The maximum extension length is 7m. ADLINK offers three different cables in length for customer's applications, 1 M, 3 M and 7 M.

Question: When using ADLINK PCI Express® Bus Extension Products, is there any additional driver or software required to install?

Answer: ADLINK PCI Express® Bus Extension Products are designed to be standard PCI Express®-to-PCI bridges. It is not necessary to install additional drivers or software for support.

Question: How many extension chassis can I connect to a host PC by using ADLINK PCI Express® Bus Extension Products?

Answer: Due to the point-to-point architecture of PCI Express $^{®}$ , only one ADLINK PCI Express $^{®}$ Bus Extension Product can be supported by one chassis. However, users can select multiple extension chassis for different purposes. For example, a 4-slot extension chassis provides small and compact form factor while an 18-slot extension chassis provides more PCI slots. Theoretically, PCI specification allows up to 255 PCI bus segments. ADLINK PCI Express® Bus Extension Products do not limit the bus segment number. The maximum PCI bus segments may limited by your BIOS or operating system.

Question: Is there any compatibility problems with the ADLINK PCI Express®-to-PXI extension kit?

Answer: ADLINK PCI Express® Bus Extension Products are designed as standard PCI Express®-to-PCI Bridge. During PC boot up, your PC BIOS will search devices and assign resources such as, I/O, memory space and IRQ number, to each device according to its algorithm. Although PCI specification allows up to 255 bus segments in a PC system, the BIOS may not assign the correct and/or proper resource to each device in some complex PCI systems.

Because the PCI Express $^{®}$ specification was released in 2002, most hardware and circuit board designers as of yet do not offer multiple PCI-to-PCI bridges. Most BIOS work for simple applications but may not work for multiple PCI bus segments and a variety of resource requests. We suggest customers choose PC equipment with Intel 945, 965 or later chipsets to adjust for these issues.

Question: When I encounter compatibility problems, what should I do?

Answer: Because most compatibility problems come from PCI resource assignments, customers should consult their PC vendors or BIOS vendors for help. Updating to the most current BIOS version may also resolve PCI resources problems.

The following list are some indications that may help customers to deal with compatibility issues:

1. Disable the onboard device functions of your host PC to release IO resources.
2. Remove PCI devices plugged/installed in your host PC.
3. Connect an extension chassis which is single bus segment to the host PC. Plug a PCI device to an extension chassis one by one and boot each in sequence to check if your host PC can accommodate the PCI device or not.
4. You may try to plug the PCI Express $^{®}$ extension host card to a different PCI Express $^{®}$ slot.
