INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION The Cyclone Microsystems 2708 PCI Express Gen2 Expansion System is a PCI Express (PCIe) expansion system that allows the user to add up to eight PCI Express add-in-cards. Most PCs contain few PCI Express slots making them poorly suited for embedded systems requiring many different I/O boards and co-processor resources.
PCI Express External Cabling Specification 2.0 ORDERING INFORMATION The expansion system is avaliable with one or three meter cables and standard or low profile panels on the Host Bus Adaptor (PCIe-425). 600-2708 PCI Express Expansion System User’s Manual Revision 1.0, June 2010...

No firmware or operating system software is involved. Once the links are initialized or “trained”, there are LED indicators on each of the Cyclone Microsystems cards that indicate the links are trained. A detailed explanation of the LEDs follows later in this manual.

370W surplus power available for peripheral components. . POWER CONSIDERATIONS Table 3-1 through 3-3 show the power consumption for the Cyclone Microsystems boards and the power supplied to PCI Express slots. Note that the PCIe-425 is installed in and powered by the host supply.
Molex type power connector probably located at the top or rear edge of the card. The power supply in the expansion chassis has two PCIe auxilary power cables available for these card types. 600-2708 PCI Express Expansion System User’s Manual Revision 1.0, June 2010...
