12 Installation

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 high-

speed serial link. Please DO NOT use standard DVI cable to con-

nect your host computer and the expansion chassis.

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.
