1 Introduction

ECS-8582-4S

User’s Manual

This chapter introduces the ECS-8582-4S ExpressCard-to-PCI

Extension System, presents a general overview and basic applications, its package contents, specifications, and features.

1.1

Overview

Harnessing the bandwidth potential of the PCI Express, the ECS-

8582-4S smart extension systems enable laptop computers with a

ExpressCard/34 slot to remotely manage and control 4 PCI devices seven meters away, using the high-speed PCI Express interface. The extension system operate in 32-bit/33 MHz configuration and come with complete end-to-end hardware and software transparency for the host system. Hardware devices installed in the extension system behave and work as if these are directly installed into the host system, requiring no additional drivers or software installation.

The host system may be separated from the extension system at up to seven meters using high-quality shielded twisted copper cables. The robust and reliable ExpressCard-to-PCI extension system is suited for portable test and measurement applications with high-density I/O requirement and in hazardous industrial control and automation environments.

1.1.1

Controlling PCI with ExpressCard

Based on the PCI Express technology, ECS-8582-4S provides bus expansion capability through the high-speed differential signal interface. The ECS-8582-4S uses a signal equalizer and a PCI

Express-to-PCI bridge to architecture a PCI Express to PCI extension system. With our ECS-8582-4S, user can use an available

ExpressCard slot to control an external PCI chassis. Because the

PCI Express Bridge is a transparent bridge, there is no need to install any additional software when using PCI devices in the external chassis.

ECS-8582-4S

User’s Manual

ADLINK Technology, Inc.

Copyright 2008

The ECS-8582-4S implements a ExpressCard-based control of

PCI modules. The technology consists of a EC-8560 card installed in the laptop computer, a shielded cable, and the extension system. The EC-8560 comes in a ExpressCard/34 footprint and communicates with the extension system's low-profile PCI-8565 via a twisted and shielded cable. The PCI-8565 converts the PCI

Express interface into a PCI bridge for additional PCI slots in the extension system.

The link between host PC and the external chassis is a PCI

Express X1 link that represents a dual-simplex communications channel consisting of two, low-voltage differentially driven signal pairs. The signaling rate can reach up to 2.5 Gbps in each direction. Using the shielded and twisted cable, the maximum extension distance can be up to 7m without decreasing the signal rate.

Power-ON/OFF Sequence

To power-on the ExpressCard extension system, follow these steps:

1. Check that the 3 M extension cable is properly connected to the host PC and extension chassis.

2. Power-on the extension chassis first.

3. Power-on the host laptop computer.

Do not remove the extension cable after the system is powered on. It may cause system error or data loss. If the cable is unplugged improperly, reconnect it and reboot the host laptop and extension chassis.

As the ExpressCard-to-PCI extension system is a standard PCIeto-PCI bridge interface, the BIOS will identify each device behind the PCI bridge and assign resource to each one during start up.

Thus users have to power-on the remote chassis first in order to get appropriate resources from the BIOS.

To power-off the PCI Express extension system, follow these steps:

1. Power-off the host PC.

2. Power-off the extension chassis.

CAUTION:

DO NOT power-off the extension chassis until the host laptop is powered off. If the extension chassis is powered off while the host laptop is on, the host laptop computer may hang or crash.

4 Troubleshooting (FAQ)

ECS-8582-4S

User’s Manual

This chapter describes frequently asked questions that may guide the user to solve minors problem they may encounter.

This Troubleshooting (FAQ) applies to:

X

ExpressCard-to-PCI Extension System: including ECS-

8582-4S.

ExpressCard-to-PXI Extension Kit: including EC-8560 and

PXI-8565.

In the following description, the products will be renamed as "PCI

Express Bus Extension Products".

Question: What is the maximum extension length of PCI Express

Bus Extension Products?

Answer: The maximum extension length is 7m. ADLINK offers three different cables in length for customer's applications, 1

M, 3 M and 7 M.

Question: When using ADLINK PCI Express Bus Extension Products, is there any additional driver or software required to install?

Answer: ADLINK PCI Express Bus Extension Products are designed to be standard PCI Express-to-PCI bridges. It is not necessary to install additional drivers or software for support.

Question: How many extension chassis can I connect to a host

PC by using ADLINK PCI Express Bus Extension Products?

Answer: Due to the point-to-point architecture of PCI Express, only one ADLINK PCI Express Bus Extension Product can be supported by one chassis. However, users can select multiple extension chassis for different purposes. For example, a 4-slot extension chassis provides small and compact

Copyright 2008 form factor while an 18-slot extension chassis provides more PCI slots. Theoretically, PCI specification allows up to

255 PCI bus segments. ADLINK PCI Express Bus Extension Products do not limit the bus segment number. The maximum PCI bus segments may limited by your BIOS or operating system.

Question: Is there any compatibility problems with the ADLINK

PCI Express-to-PXI extension kit?

Answer: ADLINK PCI Express Bus Extension Products are designed as standard PCI Express-to-PCI Bridge. During

PC boot up, your PC BIOS will search devices and assign resources such as, I/O, memory space and IRQ number, to each device according to its algorithm. Although PCI specification allows up to 255 bus segments in a PC system, the

BIOS may not assign the correct and/or proper resource to each device in some complex PCI systems.

Because the PCI Express specification was released in

2002, most hardware and circuit board designers as of yet do not offer multiple PCI-to-PCI bridges. Most BIOS work for simple applications but may not work for multiple PCI bus segments and a variety of resource requests. We suggest customers choose PC equipment with Intel 945, 965 or later chipsets to adjust for these issues.

Question: When I encounter compatibility problems, what should

I do?

Answer: Because most compatibility problems come from PCI resource assignments, customers should consult their PC vendors or BIOS vendors for help. Updating to the most current BIOS version may also resolve PCI resources problems.

User’s Manual

The following list are some indications that may help customers to deal with compatibility issues:

1. Disable the onboard device functions of your host PC to release IO resources.

2. Remove PCI devices plugged/installed in your host PC.

3. Connect an extension chassis which is single bus segment to the host PC. Plug a PCI device to an extension chassis one by one and boot each in sequence to check if your host PC can accommodate the PCI device or not.

4. You may try to plug the PCI Express extension host card to a different PCI Express slot.
