1Introduction
The ADLINK PCIS-8580 is the PCI-to-PCI expansion systems for
extending your PCI buses of the host computers. With the stateof-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) additional 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 composed of three major components: a PCI expansion card (LPCI-
8575), an expansion chassis (RK-8005 for PCIS-8580-4S or RK8014 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.

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-858013S). 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 backplane inside the chassis.
10Installation
2. Plug you PCI cards into the expansion chassis and
screw them to the chassis.

Figure 2-3: Install your PCI cards into the expansion chassis (using the
PCIS-8580-4S as an example)
Installation 11
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 highspeed serial link. Please DO NOT use standard DVI cable to connect your host computer and the expansion chassis.
Figure 2-4: Connect you host comput e r an d ex pansion 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.

3Hardware Overview
This chapter illustrates the basic hardware architecture of each
component in the ADLINK PCIS-8580 PCI-to-PCI expansion system.
3.1System Architecture
This section describes the operation theory and technology of the
PCIS-8580 PCI-to-PCI expansion system.
Operation Theory
Figure 3-1: Operation theory of PCIS-8580 PCI-to-PCI expansion system
The PCIS-8580 PCI-to-PCI expansion system utilizes the state-ofart St ar Fabric te chno logy a s the groun dwor k fo r exten ding the PCI
bus. A PCI-StarFabric bridge located on the host computer provides an interface between PCI and StarFabric port, which translates the parallel PCI signals into serial frame format for
transmission across StarFabric link. Each StarFabric link contains
4 pairs, 622Mps LVDS signals and provides 2.5Gbps total bandwidth to accommodate complete PCI traffic without any compromise in bandwidth. Error detection and error correction are
automatically performed during the StarFabric transmission to
guarantee the data integrity.
Hardware Overview 13
3.2LPCI-8575 PCI Expansion Card
This section describes the basic function, bus architecture and
jumper settings of the PCI expansion module LPCI-8575.
Functional Block
The LPCI-8575 expansion module is basically a PCI-to-PCI
bridge. The PCI-to-PCI bridge function in the LPCI-8575 supports
legacy address routed traffic, which provides 100% capability with
PCI drivers, application software, BIOS, O/Ss, etc. These functions allow users to transfer their designs without extra effort.
The LPCI-8575 employs a serial interconnect technology,
622Mbps low voltage differential signaling (LVDS). Each LPCI8575 expansion module has one link port, the link port is divided
into transmit (TX) and receive (RX). Fo ur TX and RX differential
pairs in the link are used to provide 2.5Gbps full duplex link bandwidth or 5Gbps of total bandwidth. Incorporated with the high
speed serial LVDS, it is easy to extend the transmission up to 10
meters through shielded twisted pair copper cables.
Inside the PCI-to-PCI bridge, a PCI-to-StarFabric/StarFabric-toPCI converter is used to translate PCI transactions into StarFabric
frames and St arFabric fr ames into PCI transactions. The PCI in terface of the LPCI-8575 is capable of 32-bit/66MHz. Thus the maximum data throughput can up to 264Mbytes/s. The PCI interface in
LPCI-8575 acts like the primary side of a PCI-to-PCI bridge if
LPCI-8575 is plugged into the peripheral slot.

Spread Spectrum Control, JP1
When LPCI-8575 plugged into the expansion chassis, it provides a discrete clock signal to each of the peripheral slot
defined as a PCI clock (CLK0, CLK1, CLK2 and CLK3).
An important feature of the LPCI-8575 expansion modules is
that it support 33MHz/66MHz clock operating environment. As
system clock increase, electromagnetic interference (EMI)
becomes a challenge for the system designers. LPCI-8575
Hardware Overview 15
adopts a spread-spectrum clock gene rator to help us er to deal
with this difficult task.
Spread spectrum clocking speeds up and slows down the clock
within a few percent of its fundamental frequency. By reducing
the peak amplitudes, the system will more likely meet EMI
emission compliance standards. In other words, spread spectrum clocking distributes the energy that was originally concentrated on one frequency over a wider band. This method
dramatically reduces the amount of EMI.
