Introduction 1
1 Introduction
The ADLINK PCIS-8580 is the PCI-to-PCI expansion 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 expansion chassis. In addition,
ADLINK PCI-to-PCI expansion system utilizes the concept of
“serialized bridge” to provide complete hardware and software
transparency to your host system. Any hardware installed in the
expansion chassis works as it’s inside the host system without any
driver/software effort.
The ADLINK PCIS-8580 PCI-to-PCI expansion system is com-
posed of three major components: a PCI expansion card (LPCI-
8575), an expansion chassis (RK-8005 for PCIS-8580-4S or RK-
8014 for PCIS-8580-13S), and a cable (ACL-PCIEXT-2). The PCI
expansion 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 expansion
chassis. The expansion chassis, which is a 4-slot wall-mount
chassis (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 expansion 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 expansion 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 expan-
sion 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 expansion system.
Install PCI Expansion Card into your Host System
The first step is to install the PCI expansion card (LPCI-8575) into
your host system. You can find an individual carton in the whole
package which contains the PCI expansion 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 expansion card. (Please
wear your anti-static facilities when you handle the card.)
4. Plug the PCI expansion card into an available PCI slot
and screw it to the chassis.
5. Close the chassis.

Driver Installation
After installing the PCI expansion card into your host computer,
now you can turn on your computer and install the driver of PCI
expansion 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 Expan-
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 Expansion Chassis
The PCIS-8580 expansion 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 expansion chassis.
1. Open the expansion 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 expansion chassis and
screw them to the chassis.
3. Put the top cover and tighten the screws.
Figure 2-3: Install your PCI cards into the expansion chassis (using the
PCIS-8580-4S as an example)

12 Installation
Connect to Expansion Chassis
Your host computer and the expansion 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 con-
nect your host computer and the expansion chassis.
Figure 2-4: Connect you host computer and expansion chassis (using the
PCIS-8580-4S as an example)
Power-on Sequence
To make the PCI-to-PCI expansion system works well, you need
to follow a correct power-on sequence for both expansion chassis
and host computer. The LINK indicators (a green LED) on the
front-panel of the expansion chassis and LPCI-8575 indicate the
status of serial link between the expansion 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 expansion chassis.
3. Turn on the host computer. At this time you’ll see the
LINK indicators on both sides are on.
