2 PCB Information

2.1 Physical Specifications

The ADM-PCIE-8K5 complies with PCI Express CEM revision 3.0.

2.2 Chassis Requirements

2.2.1 PCI Express

The ADM-PCIE-8K5 is capable of PCIe Gen 1/2/3 with 1/2/4/8 lanes, using the Xilinx Integrated Block for PCI
Express.

2.2.2 Mechanical Requirements

An 8-lane or 16-lane physical PCIe slot is required for mechanical compatibility.
Each ADM-PCIE-8K5 is shipped with a full height PCIe card bracket installed by default. A half-height bracket is
shipped along with the product and can be easily changed out with a philips screw driver. If the application
requires a low-profile bracket and the order quantity is high, contact sales@alpha-data.com to get the correct
bracket fitted before shipping.

2.2.3 Power Requirements

The PCIe Specification permits a standard low-profile, half-length PCIe card to dissipate up to 25 W of power,
drawn from the PCIe slot. The ADM-PCIE-8K5 may consume more than 25 W of power for larger user FPGA
designs. Power estimation requires the use of the Xilinx XPE spreadsheet and/or a power estimator tool
available from Alpha Data. Please contact support@alpha-data.com to obtain this tool.
The power available to the rails calculated using XPE are as follows:
