The PCIE-AMC-7S' PCI Express host card extends the PCI Express interface to an external cable connection.
Brought over the cable to the expansion chassis, the PCI Express interface connects to a PCI Express backplane controller for the PCI Express system.
The backplane controller slot sustains an eight-port PCI Express switch that supports the seven AdvancedMC slots.
"SBS has a long history of delivering quality, reliable expansion products".
"We leveraged that expertise to create this high-throughput expansion system that lets system designers add more AdvancedMC-based I/O capability, or test engineers to test up to seven AdvancedMCs without taking down the system to change cards", said Bill Molyneux, Vice President and General Manager of SBS General Purpose I/O Products.
"Engineers can count on SBS for AdvancedMC products that meet their most demanding customers' requirements".
The PCIE-AMC-7S expansion system consists of an x8 PCI Express host card, a seven-slot AdvancedMC chassis with backplane controller and cabling to connect the host card and controller.
The backplane supports five x4 PCI Express/AdvancedMC slots and two x2 PCI Express/AdvancedMC slots configured in a flexible mix of half height and full height, single wide AdvancedMC slots.
