PCIe/PXIe-8638 1 Introduction The PCIe-PXIe-8638 PCI Express to PXI Express extension kit provides control of PXI Express modules installed in a PXIe chassis using high bandwidth PCI Express technology. The extension kit provides up to 4GB/s bandwidth using PCIe Gen 2 x8 signaling. With comprehensive hardware and software transparency, the extension kit enables fast and convenient detection of any PXI cards installed in the system, requiring no additional drivers or software.

nents. Be sure there is no shipping and handling damage on the components before continuing. Do not apply power to any equipment if it has been damaged. CAUTION: 2.3 Installing the PCIe-8638 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-8638) and remove it from its packaging.

2.4 Installing PXIe-8638 to a PXIe chassis 1. Remove the cover panel of the system slot. 2. Locate the PXIe-8638 and remove from packaging. (Please wear anti-static gloves and use an anti-static surface when handling the card). 3. Insert the PXIe-8638 into the PXI™ system slot and tighten the bracket-retaining screws on the top and bottom of the panel to fasten the PXIe-8638 to the chassis.
PCIe/PXIe-8638 2.5 Cabling Host Computer to a PXI Chassis Now that you have successfully installed the PCIe-8638 into the Host computer and installed the PXIe-8638 in the PXIe chassis, you may connect the host PC and PXI chassis with a PCIe cable assembly. CAUTION: Removing the PCIe cable assembly after the system is powered on may cause system errors or data loss. If the cable is unplugged improperly, reconnect it and reboot the host PC and PXI chassis. Figure 2-3: PCIe x8 Cable Assembly 1.
2.6 Power ON/OFF Sequence To power-on the PCIe to PXIe Extension Kit: 1. Ensure that the extension cable is properly connected to the host PC and PXIe chassis. 2. Power on the PXIe chassis. 3. When status LEDs of the PXI Express chassis and all installed modules indicate ready, power on the host PC . CAUTION: DO NOT remove the cable after the system and PXIe chassis are powered on. Disconnecting the cable while the system is running may cause unpredictable system errors and/or system crash.

PCIe/PXIe-8638 Appendix A Troubleshooting (FAQ) This chapter describes frequently asked questions that may assist in solving minor problems that may be encountered. Question: What is the PCIe-PXIe-8638? maximum extension length of Answer: ADLINK provides cable accessories for PCIe-PXIe-8638 in 2 and 5 meter lengths, with maximum cable length 5 meters.
Answer: Limited PCI bus availability is the major concern about compatibility. Available PCI bus numbers assigned by system BIOS may exceed PCI bus numbers required by the PCIe-PXIe-8638 and PXI Express chassis. If PCI bus numbers are occupied, the system may not boot correctly or devices not detected. Theoretically, PC systems implementing PCI Express can support up to 256 bus numbers.
PCIe/PXIe-8638 Question: One or more modules in PXI Express chassis connected via PCIe-PXIe8638 are missing from Windows Device Manager. How to best solve this or other compatibility problems (like no boot)? Answer: Due to flexibility and variety of systems with PCI Express expansion, most compatibility issues are related with abnormal device detection or resource assignment done by system BIOS. The following suggestions may help solve frequently encountered issues.
