Expansion
PCI Express
Airtop allows installing a full-height single slot PCI Express card 2x/4x/8x/16x up to PCIe
gen 3.0 (8 Gbps). The most common use case is an installation of discrete external
graphics card. Airtop-G model features NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950 graphics card, and
Airtop-W/S have NVIDIA Quadro M4000 graphics card installed.
Alternatively other PCI Express cards can be installed, such as Ethernet NIC, professional audio card, Fire-wire or
Thunderbolt extenders, etc.
Notes:
1. Compulab ships some Airtop models with the graphics cards selected and adapted to Airtop. Users cannot
install another graphics card.
2. For installing another PCIecard please consult Compulab technical support: [email protected]
Mini PCI Express
Airtop motherboard has two full-size mini-PCI express slots. One of the slots is normally used for WLAN/BT module.
Half-size modules can be installed with half-to-full size adapter bracket available from Compulab.
Note: When removing the WLAN module make sure to isolate the tips of antenna-cables to avoid short-circuits to the
motherboard.
FACE Module
FACE Modules are extension boards that integrate seamlessly into Airtop to provide custom functionality and I/O
extension. FACE Module is connected to the PC motherboard with a board-to-board mezzanine connector featuring
standard PC interfaces such as PCI Express, USB and serial interfaces.
