PCIexpress9

Switch Fabric with 192GB/s peak system bandwidth
9 x PCI - Express Slots
1 x SBC PICMG Slot
Daisy chain multiple backplanes to provide up to 25 PCIe slots
- Additional Features:Nine slot PCIe backplane. 8 x 4 lane slots plus 1 x 8 lane slot
- All slots implemented as x 16 physical connectors so any width PCIe card can be accommodated
- 1 x PICMG 1.3 SBC slot
- ATX compatible mounting holes
- Use as a PCIe expansion backplane for a standard PC using the S-Link and H-Link cards
- Compatible with a standard 4U IPC chassis
S-Link and H-Link Cards
The S-Link can be used instead of a PICMG 1.3 SBC to configure the Express 9 as an expansion backplane from a standard PC or from other Express 9 backplanes by connecting to a H-Link card.
Connecting the Express9 Backplane to a Host Machine
Note: The host PC requires a PCIe x8 or x16 lane (physical) slot for installing the H-Link card.

PCI-Express9 Product List

Express9 backplane		9 slot PCI express backplane providing 8 x 4 lane slots and 1 x 8 lane slot.
SBC1		PICMG1.3 Core2 Duo/Quad SBC with VGA, dual Gigabit LAN, SATA RAID USB2.0 and 16-bit GPIO.
S-Link		The S-Link card is a PICMG 1.3 PCIe expansion receiver card installed into the SBC slot located on the Express9 backplane. It is connected to the H-Link card using the Ex-Cable.
H-Link		The H-Link card is a host link adapter which is installed on the host machines motherboard or an Express9. It is connected to the S-Link card using the Ex-Cable.
Ex-cable		The Ex-cable is a 0.75M expansion cable used to connect the Express9 back plane to the host machine via the Ex-link and H-link cards.

Connecting the Express9 Backplane to a Host Machine

Note: The host PC requires a PCIe x8 or x16 lane (physical) slot for installing the H-Link card.

The HOST machine for the first example below can be your standard desktop PC with the PCIe slots expanded further by using the PCIexpress9

Connecting Using One Express9 as a Standard PC (SBC installed) or using a desktop PC with One Expansion Chassis

System provides up to 17 PCIe slots

Connecting Using One Express9 as a Standard PC (SBC installed) and One additional Expansion Chassis

System provides up to 25 PCIe slots

Connecting Using One Express9 as a Standard PC (SBC installed) and Two additional Expansion Chassis
