Introduction 1
1 Introduction
The ADLINK PCIS-8580 is the PCI-to-PCI extension systems for
extending your PCI buses of the host computers. With the state-
of-art StarFabric high-speed serial link technology, you can extend
your PCI bus of the host computer to an external chassis, which
accommodates 4 (PCIS-8580-4S) or 13 (PCIS-8580-13S) addi-
tional PCI slots. This advanced technology provides full 32-bit/
33MHz PCI bandwidth (132MB/s) and maximal 10m distance
between host computer and extension chassis. In addition,
ADLINK PCI-to-PCI extension system utilizes the concept of “seri-
alized bridge” to provide complete hardware and software trans-
parency to your host system. Any hardware installed in the
extension chassis works as it’s inside the host system without any
driver/software effort.
The ADLINK PCIS-8580 PCI-to-PCI extension system is com-
posed of three major components: a PCI extension card (LPCI-
8575), an extension chassis (RK-8005 for PCIS-8580-4S or RK-
8014 for PCIS-8580-13S), and a cable (ACL-PCIEXT-2). The PCI
extension card is the core of this system. It acts as a PCI bridge
with the capability to serialize the PCI signals and maintain a
5Gbps serial link between the host system and the extension
chassis. The extension chassis, which is a 4-slot wall-mount chas-
sis (RK-8005) or a 13-slot rack-mount chassis (RK-8014), is the
platform to accommodate PCI slots. It contains a backplane, a
power supply, and a pre-installed PCI extension card. The cable,
which consists of DVI-D connector and shielding twisted pairs,
provides robust connectivity and satisfying signal quality between
the host computer and the extension chassis.

8Installation
2.2 Unpacking
The ADLINK PCIS-8580 system contains some electro-static sen-
sitive components that can be easily be damaged by static elec-
tricity. For this reason, the card 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 procedure.
Please also inspect the components for apparent damage.
Improper shipping and handling may cause damage to the compo-
nents. Be sure there are no shipping and handling damage on the
components before continuing.
You are now ready to set up your PCIS-8580 PCI-to-PCI extension
system.
Note: DO NOT APPLY POWER TO THE CARD OR CHASSIS IF
IT HAS BEEN DAMAGED.
2.3 Getting Start
In this section, we’ll illustrate the step-by-step instructions to set
up your PCIS-8580 PCI-to-PCI extension system.
Install PCI Extension Card into your Host System
The first step is to install the PCI extension card (LPCI-8575) into
your host system. You can find an individual carton in the whole
package which contains the PCI extension card. The steps of
installation are:
1. Turn off your host computer.
2. Open the chassis of the host computer.
3. Remove the package of PCI extension card. (Please
wear your anti-static facilities when you handle the card.)
4. Plug the PCI extension card into an available PCI slot
and screw it to the chassis.
5. Close the chassis.

Driver Installation
After installing the PCI extension card into your host computer,
now you can turn on your computer and install the driver of PCI
extension card. Please follow the following steps to finish the
driver installation.
1. Insert the ADLINK ALL-In-One CD.
2. Execute x:\Driver Installation\PCI Exten-
sion\PCIS_8580_setup.exe to launch the setup pro-
gram. (x: denotes your CD-ROM drive). A InstallShield®
wizard appears to guide you finish the setup procedure.

3. While setup finishes, please reboot your system. (Note:
According to different hardware configuration, you may
need to reboot your computer for several times to detect
the StarFabric serialized bridge and its subsequent PCI
devices.)
Install your PCI Card into the Extension Chassis
The PCIS-8580 extension chassis can accommodate 4 additional
PCI slots (PCIS-8580-4S) or 13 additional PCI slots (PCIS-8580-
13S). This section illustrates the procedures to install your PCI
cards into the extension chassis.
1. Open the extension chassis by loosen the screws and
remove the top cover of the chassis. You’ll see a back-
plane inside the chassis.

Installation 11
2. Plug you PCI cards into the extension chassis and screw
them to the chassis.
3. Put the top cover and tighten the screws.

PCIS-8580-4S as an example)

12 Installation
Connect to Extension Chassis
Your host computer and the extension chassis are connected via a
cable (ACL-PCIEXT-2). This cable uses the DVI-D connector and
customized shielding twisted pairs to make a robust high-speed
serial link. Please DO NOT use standard DVI cable to connect
your host computer and the extension chassis.
Figure 2-4: Connect you host computer and extension chassis (using the
PCIS-8580-4S as an example)
Power-on Sequence
To make the PCI-to-PCI extension system works well, you need to
follow a correct power-on sequence for both extension chassis
and host computer. The LINK indicators (a green LED) on the
front-panel of the extension chassis and LPCI-8575 indicate the
status of serial link between the extension chassis and the host
computer. When the LINK LED is on, the link is good, otherwise
when the LINK LED is off or blinking, the link is failed.
1. Make sure the cable is correctly connected and screw
the connectos.
2. Turn on the extension chassis.
3. Turn on the host computer. At this time you’ll see the
LINK indicators on both sides are on.
