77 CFM fans. The PCIe2-2711 is available with either a 3240 W or 2180 W N+1 redundant power supply in a 5U chassis, or a 1200 W standard ATX supply in a 4U chassis.
INTRODUCTION SPECIFICATIONS The specifications in Table 1-1 detail the PCIe2-2711 Expansion System chassis including the PCIe-460 expansion backplane, PCIe-436 Upstream Cable Adaptor and chassis/power supply. The chassis also includes four 77 CFM fans. Table 1-1. Physical/Environmental Characteristics Height 8.75 inches (5U Chassis)
AC power outlet and any desired add-in cards are installed, the system is ready to be turned on. When a host is turned on, a signal from the PCIe-426 will turn on the PCIe2-2711 chassis. When two hosts are used, the first host on will turn the system on and the last host off will turn the system off.
SEATING OF CARDS Unlike standard PC applications, the PCIe2-2711 Expansion Systems has a narrow lower gate that precisely engages the lower end of the PCI Express Add-In board’s face panel. The purpose is to ensure correct electrical connector mating of up-plugged boards.
EXPANSION CHASSIS CHASSIS COOLING Airflow in the PCIe2-2711 chassis is provided by four 77 CFM fans located midship across the full width of the chassis. CHASSIS POWER There are three different power supply options available for the PCIe2-2711. The 1200W option provides ample power for the backplane and low-powered PCIe devices.
0.5A per jumper. POWER CONSIDERATIONS Table 3-4 through 3-6 show the power consumption for the Cyclone Microsystems boards and the power supplied to PCI Express slots. Note that the PCIe-426 is installed in and powered by the host supply.
The power supply in the expansion chassis has at least eight PCIe auxilary power cables labeled “PCI-E” available for these card types. GPU card users should verify that all external power connections to their cards have been made. PCIe2-2711 PCI Express Gen2 Expansion System User’s Manual Revision 1.1, October 2017...
The green LED indicates that the chassis is powered. If two host PCs are connected to the PCIe2-2711, then the first host to power up turns on the system. The last host to power down turns off the system.
Microsystems has determined is the best setting for Gen1 or Gen2 operation with both the 1m and 3m PCIe cables shipped with Cyclone PCIe Expansion systems. Users should not change the DIP switch settings unless they have the proper test equipment to verify their results. Users change de-emphasis, output swing and receive equalization at their own peril.
The as-shipped-default configuration of the transceiver silicon is what Cyclone Microsystems has determined is the best setting for Gen2 operation with both 1m and 3m PCIe cables shipped with Cyclone PCIe Expansion systems. This configuration will also function adequately for Gen1 operation.
SYSTEM MONITOR BOARD The PCIe2-2711 system has an optional System Monitor board. It has the same outline and profile as a x1 PCI Express add-in card but it is not, it has a proprietary pin out and should be installed ONLY in slot J9 of the PCIe-460.
