About the Chassis
This product is an expansion chassis that adds PCI bus slots to a PC. It can add PCI bus slots by
connecting an optional expansion adapter (EAD-CE-LPE, EAD-CE-EC). The board that can be
mounted is different depending on the model, ECH-PCI-CE-H2B, ECH-PCI-CE-H4B are short-type
[176.5 (L) x 107 (H) mm] PCI boards and ECH-PCI-CE-F2B, ECH-PCI-CE-F4B are long-type [313.8
(L) x 107 (H) mm] PCI boards. You can link the ON/OFF control of the chassis to that of your PC.
As the cabinet contains a built-in cooling fan, achieving a compact design, you can build a system even
in a limited space next to your PC. The product is also bundled with an easy-to-carry AC adapter.

1. Before Using the Product
Restrictions
This product is used in a combination with the optional expansion adapter. The following restrictions
apply to the situation when the expansion adapter is connected to the expansion chassis.
This product has restrictions on the types of PCs and boards that can be used.
Be sure to check the following restrictions before use.
< Restrictions of PC>
This product uses the PCI-to-PCI Bridge to extend the bus.
The PCI boards plugged in PCI slots in this product are recognized if the PCI-to-PCI bridge is
recognized by the BIOS in the PC used. Ask the PC vendor for whether the BIOS recognizes the
PCI-to-PCI bridge.
< Restrictions on transfer rate >
When the expansion chassis accommodates a board that performs high-speed transfer such as bus
mastering, the overall transfer rate may be lower than that of PCI bus slots in the main unit of a desktop
PC.
This is caused by bus extension by the PCI-to-PCI Bridge.
The transfer rate may vary with the system configuration and the type of the PC.
< Restrictions of PCI board>
None of the following boards can be plugged into any expansion slot in this product.
- Video display board (VGA board)
- Board to connect a PCI bus expansion chassis
- Board explicitly stated not to be used with the PCI-to-PCI Bridge
- Some boards, even PCI-compliant ones, may not work depending on their specifications

2. Setup
Step 4 Installing the expansion adapter board
Refer to the user’s manual for the expansion adapter EAD-CE-LPE, EAD-CE-EC to install the
expansion bus adapter on the PC.
Step 5 Setup and Check
Starting the system
This product is turned on and off in sync with the PC’s power supply. When the PC detects the
expansion adapter, this product is turned on.
Turning on the system
(1) Plug the power plug of this product into a wall outlet.
You do not need to press the POWER switch on the front panel (*1).
(2) The power supply of a PC is turned ON.
(3) As soon as the expansion adapter is recognized by the PC, this product is turned on automatically.
(4) Make sure that the POWER LED on this product is on.
Turning off the system
(1) The power supply of a PC is turned OFF.
(2) This product is turned off in synchronization with the PC’s power supply.
*1 Pressing the POWER switch on the front panel of this product turns on this product
or puts it to sleep. Use the switch, for example, to turn on only this product.
CAUTION
Do not turn on or off this product with the PC main unit powered.
Doing so cancels the detection of the bus adapter. When turning this product on back, restart the
PC main unit.
