Introduction 1
1 Introduction
This chapter introduces the PCI Express-to-PXI Extension Kit, presents a
general overview and basic applications, its package contents, specifica-
tions, and features.
1.1 Overview
Harnessing the bandwidth potential of PCI Express®, the PCI Express-to-
PXI Extension Kit enables computers with a PCI Express® slot to remotely
manage and control PXI™ devices up to seven meters away, using the
high-speed PCI Express® interface. These extension systems operate in
32-bit/33 MHz configuration and come with complete end-to-end hard-
ware and software transparency for the host system. Hardware devices
installed in the extension system behave and work as if they are directly
installed into the host system, requiring no additional drivers or soft-
ware 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 PCI Express-to-PXI Extension Kit 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 PXI™ with PCI Express®
Based on PCI Express® technology, the PCI Express-to-PXI Extension Kit
provides bus expansion capability through its high-speed differential sig-
nal interface. The PCI Express-to-PXI Extension Kit uses a signal equalizer
and a PCI Express-to-PCI bridge. With JYTEK’s PCI Express-to-PXI Exten-
sion Kit, users can utilize an available PCI Express® slot to control an
external PXI™ chassis. Because the PCI Express® bridge is transparent,
there is no need to install any additional software when using PXI™
devices in the external chassis.

2 Introduction
The PCI Express-to-PXI Extension Kit implements a PCI Express-based
control of PXI™ modules. The technology consists of a PCIe-68560 card
installed in a host computer, a shielded cable, and a PXI-68565 card
installed in the remote PXI™ chassis. The PCIe-68560 comes in a PCI
Express® x1 footprint and communicates with the PXI-68565 via a
twisted and shielded cable. The PXI-68565 converts the PCI Express®
interface into a PCI interface for additional PXI™ 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 a shielded and twisted
cable, the maximum extension distance can be up to 7 M without
decreasing signal rate.

Getting Started 7
2 Getting Started
This chapter describes the installation environment, installation proce-
dures, cabling the equipment, and instructions on powering-on/off the
PCI Express-to-PXI Extension Kit.
2.1 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 PCI Express-to-PXI Extension Kit contains several electro-static sensi-
tive 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 procedure.
Please also inspect the components for apparent damage. Improper
shipping and handling may cause damage to the components. Be sure
there is no shipping and handling damage on the components before
continuing.
NOTE:
NOTE:
Diagrams and images of equipment mentioned are used for
reference only. Actual system appearance may vary.
CAUTION:
Do not apply power to any equipment if it has been damaged.

8 Getting Started
2.2 Installing PCIe-68560 on a Host Computer
1. Power-off your host computer.
2. Unscrew the housing of your host computer using a (cross-
head or flat-head) screwdriver. Open the housing.
3. Locate your PCI Express® extension card (PCIe-68560) and
remove it from its packaging. (Please wear anti-static gloves
and use an anti-static surface when handling the card).
4. Install the PCIe-68560 in an available X1 PCI Express® slot in
your host computer. Be sure to firmly attach the PCIe-68560’s
bracket to the backplane of the host PC.
5. Close the chassis and re-install its housing screws.
