Page 4: Disclaimer
AMOUNT PAID FOR THE PRODUCT BY THE PURCHASER. PCI Express External Cabling specification 3.0 is as of the release of PCI-AD-X16HE-PS-MD not completed and ratified by the PCI-SIG. The PCI-AD-X16HE-PS-MD is designed to the new specification, but Serial Cables cannot guarantee the card will be compliant to the final 1.0 version. -
Page 5: Pci-Ad-X16He-Ps-Md High Level Specification
PCI-AD-X16HE-PS-MD High Level Specification The PCI-AD-X16HE-PS-MD is a low profile, half-length PCIe adapter that can be configured as a Transparent Host Adapter card or a Target adapter card. Once installed in any server’s or PC’s PCI Express compliant slot, a PCI-AD-X16HE-PS-MD can connect to another PCI-AD-X16HE-PS-MD configured for Transparent Target operation or any target device compliant to the PCI Express External Cabling Specification 3.0. -
Page 6: Packaging
PCIe Slot Determination The PCI-AD-X16HE-PS-MD supports PCIe Gen1, Gen2 and Gen3 speeds and x1, x2, x4, x8 and x16 link-widths. The slot width and speed will affect the performance of the card. The card can be physically installed in a x4, x8 or x16 connector. The card will auto configure to the slot speed and width. -
Page 7: Minisas-Hd Cables
Active Optical Cables (AOC) The PCI-AD-X16HE-PS-MD card is compliant with active fiber optic cables up to 100 meters. Special configuration of the card needs to be performed for working with long fibers (Contact Serial Cables). CWAKE and CPOWERON is not supported using standard AOC cables. -
Page 8: Installation
Express Gen1, Gen2 and Gen3 signaling. NOTE: A Gen3 slot is recommended as it typically doubles the performance compared to a Gen2 slot. The PCI-AD-X16HE-PS-MD is an x16 card, so maximum performance will only be attained if the slot provides full electrical x16 signaling. -

Step 6 - Verify Installation & LEDs The PCI-AD-X16HE-PS-MD comes with 4 bi-color LEDs which show the corresponding cable port status according to Table 2: LED below. The LEDs are visible through cut-outs in the PCIe bracket on each side of the cable connector block. -
Page 10: Operation
Host mode, single (up to x16) link connection. The PCI-AD-X16HE-PS-MD has DIP switches for setting special modes or operations, the meaning of each DIP switch depends on the loaded firmware. Please carefully read the documentation shipping with the card before modifying any DIP switch settings. Please pay close attention to ON and OFF positions written on the DIP switch. -
Page 11: Use Cases
Table 4: Use Case DIP switch settings Use Cases The PCI-AD-X16HE-PS-MD card may be used as both a Host card and a Target card. A Host and Target card can be used as a pair or the Host card can be used with a compliant Target device. The supported use cases and the DIP switch settings are summarized in Table 4: Use Case DIP switch settings. -
Page 12: Use Case B - 1 Host - Dual Expansion Configuration
Figure 3: Use Case B Use Case C – 1 Host - Quad Expansion Configuration The host has a PCI-AD-X16HE-PS-MD adapter configured for Host mode and a direct x4 cable connection is used between the Host systems and each expansion Chassis. The PCI-AD-X16HE-PS-MD in the Expansion Chassis is configured for Target mode. -
Page 13: Eeprom And Firmware Upgrade
The PCI-AD-X16HE-PS-MD design uses a microcontroller to implement the PCIe CMI protocol and other maintenance functions. Serial Cables may from time to time publish updated firmware for the microcontroller or EEPROM data for the card. Please contact Serial Cables for instructions on how to upgrade the PCI-AD-X16HE-PS-MD. Please note that standard Microsemi firmware tools cannot be used to upgrade the firmware. - Page 14 Capabilities: [40] Express Upstream Port, MSI 00 Capabilities: [7c] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/8 Maskable- 64bit+ Capabilities: [8c] Power Management version 3 Capabilities: [94] Subsystem: Serial Cables Interconnect Solutions AS Device 0830 Capabilities: [100] Advanced Error Reporting Capabilities: [138] Power Budgeting <?>...

The PCI-AD-X16HE-PS-MD Edge connector follows PCI Express CEM Specification, Rev. 3.0 section 6 – Card Connector Specification. Signal names are shown in Table 9. In host mode, the PCI-AD-X16HE-PS-MD is PCIe SIG compliant. The signals in bold are bi- directional, where the direction depends on if the card is configured for host or target mode. In the case where the PXH832 is configured as a target adapter in an expansion chassis, it will provide a 100 MHz, non-SSC, reference clock on the REFCLK+/REFCLK- pins. -
