Introduction 1
PCIe-PXIe-8565
1 Introduction
The PCIe-PXIe-8565 PCI Express to PXI Express extension kit
provides control of PXI Express modules installed in a PXIe chas-
sis using high bandwidth PCI Express technology. The extension
kit consists of a PCIe-8560 peripheral card, PXIe-8565 3U system
module, and an ACL-EXPRESS cable (available in 1, 3, and 7
meter lengths) that provides up to 250MB/s bandwidth via PCIe
Gen 1 x1 signaling. With comprehensive hardware and software
transparency, the extension kit enables fast and convenient detec-
tion of any PXI cards installed in the system, requiring no addi-
tional drivers or software.
The host PC can be separated from the PXI Express chassis by
up to seven meters using high-quality shielded twisted copper
cables. The robust and reliable PCIe to PXIe Extension Kit is
suited for remote test and measurement applications with
high-density I/O requirements and in hazardous industrial control
and automation environments.
Controlling PXI with PCI Express
Based on PCI Express technology, the PCIe to PXIe Extension Kit
provides bus extension capability through its high-speed differen-
tial signal interface.
The PCIe-PXIe-8565 PCI Express-to-PXI Express expansion kit
provides connections from PXI instrument slots on the PXIe chas-
sis to the host computer. The system consists of a PCIe-8560 host
adapter installed in the host computer, a PCIe x1 cable, and a
PXIe-8565 remote controller (a 3U expansion module) installed in
the system slot of a PXIe chassis. The PCIe-8560 adapter comes
in a PCI Express x1 footprint with a PCIe x1 cable connector.

2.2 Installation Environment
Whenever unpacking and preparing to install any equipment
described in this manual, please refer to the
Important Safety Instructions chapter of this manual.
Only install equipment in well lit areas on flat, sturdy surfaces with
access to basic tools such as flat and cross head screwdrivers.
The PCIe to PXIe Extension Kit contains several electrostatic-sen-
sitive components that can be easily damaged by static electricity.
For this reason, the cards and chassis should be handled on a
grounded, anti-static mat, and the operator should wear an
anti-static wristband during the unpacking and installation proce-
dure.
Ensure that you inspect all components for apparent damage.
Shipping and handling may cause damage to components.
NOTE:
NOTE:
Diagrams and images of equipment mentioned are used for
reference only. Actual system appearance may vary.
NOTE:
NOTE:
If any of the items in the package are missing or damaged,
contact your ADLINK dealer.

6 Getting Started
Leading EDGE COMPUTING
Ensure that there is no shipping and handling-related damage to
components before installation or modification.
2.3 Installing the PCIe-8560 on a Host Computer
1. Power off your host computer.
2. Remove the screws from the housing of your host com-
puter using a cross-head or flat-head screwdriver and
then open the chassis.
3. Remove the PCI Express extension card (PCIe-8560)
from its packaging.
Note: Wear anti-static gloves and use an anti-static sur-
face when handling the card.
4. Install the PCIe-8560 in an available slot that supports a
PCI Express x1 card in your host computer. Ensure that
you firmly attach the PCIe-8560’s bracket to the back-
plane of the host PC.
5. Close the chassis and reattach the housing screws.
CAUTION:
Do not apply power to any equipment if it has been damaged.

Note: Wear anti-static gloves and use an anti-static sur-
face when handling the card.
3. Insert the PXIe-8565 into the PXI system slot and attach
the bracket-retaining screws to the top and bottom sides
of the panel.

2.5 Connecting the Host Computer and PXI Chassis
This section illustrates how to connect a PCIe cable assembly
between the the PCIe-8560 on your host computer and the
PXIe-8565 on the PXI chassis.
Figure 2-3: PCIe x1 Cable Assembly
1. Connect the cable assembly to the PCIe connector on
the bracket of the PCIe-8560 card installed on the host
PC.
2. Connect the other end of the cable assembly to the con-
nector of the PXIe-8565 module installed in the PXIe
chassis.
CAUTION:
Removing the PCIe cable assembly after the system is pow-
ered on may cause system errors or data loss. If the cable is
accidentally disconnected, reconnect it and reboot the host PC
and PXI chassis (Section 2.6 Power On/Power Off Sequence)..

10 Getting Started
Leading EDGE COMPUTING
2.6 Power On/Power Off Sequence
To power on the PCIe to PXIe Extension Kit:
1. Ensure that the extension cable is properly connected to
the host PC and PXIe chassis.
2. Power on the PXIe chassis.
3. When the status LEDs of the PXI Express chassis and
all installed modules indicate ready, power on the host
PC.
.
Because the PCIe to PXIe Extension Kit is equipped with a stan-
dard PCIe switch, the BIOS will identify each device behind the
switch and assign resources to each during startup. Therefore, the
PXI chassis must be powered on in order to obtain the appropriate
resources from the BIOS.
To power off the PCIe to PXIe Extension Kit:
1. Power off the host PC.
2. Power off the PXIe chassis.
CAUTION:
DO NOT remove the cable after the system and PXIe chassis
are powered on. Disconnecting the cable while the system is
running may cause unpredictable system errors and/or a sys-
tem crash.
CAUTION:
DO NOT power down the PXIe chassis until the host PC is
powered off. If the PXIe chassis is powered off while the host
PC is powered on, the host PC may hang or crash.
NOTE:
NOTE:
In some cases, it may be necessary to change the BIOS set-
tings to support a PCI Express x1 card, depending on the
specifications and functions of the host PC.
