The 600-2705 system is composed from three elements: a PCI Express Host Bus Cable Adapter, an Expansion System Cable and an Expansion Chassis. Our PCIe-409 Host Bus Cable Adapter is inserted into a host computer’s x8 PCIe slot.
INTRODUCTION SPECIFICATIONS The specifications in table 1-1detail the 600-2705 Expansion System chassis including the PCIe-414 expansion backplane and the 450W power supply. The chassis also includes one 120 CFM and two 59 CFM fans. Table 1-1. Specifications Physical Height 7 inches...
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 both the links that are trained and the individual lanes. A detailed explanation of the LEDs follows later in this manual.
* Required by the PCI Express Card Electromechanical Specification Revision 1.0a. Note that the total power for each PCIe shall not exceed 25W. Airflow in the 600-2705 chassis is provided by one 120 CFM located at the front of the chassis and two 59 CFM fans located at the rear of the chassis.
The host PC with an installed PCIe-409 controls power-up for the entire system. The PCI Express cable should be connected between the PCIe-409 and the PCIe-414 and the 600-2705 power cord should be connected to the chassis and plugged in to a power socket. There is a power button on the front of the 600-2705 Expansion Chassis.
The transceiver silcon used on the PCIe-409 has four steps of programmable de-emphasis; 0dB, -3dB, - 6dB and -9dB. Cyclone Microsystems has determined that 0dB is the correct setting for both 1m and 3m PCIe cables shipped with Cyclone PCIe Expansion Systems. The PCIe-409 has a DIP switch that is factory set for 0dB de-emphasis but permits a user to reselect to any of the four possible settings.
