This Troubleshooting (FAQ) applies to: X PCI Express-to-PCI Extension System: including PCES8581-4S and PCES-8581-13S. X PCI Express-to-PXI Extension Kit: including PCIe-8560 and PXI-8565. In the following description, the products will be renamed as "PCI Express® Bus Extension Products".
PCIe-8560 PXI-8565 User’s Manual be supported by one chassis. However, users can select multiple extension chassis for different purposes. For example, a 4-slot extension chassis provides small and compact form factor while an 18-slot extension chassis provides more PCI slots. Theoretically, PCI specification allows up to 255 PCI bus segments. ADLINK PCI Express® Bus Extension Products do not limit the bus segment number. The maximum PCI bus segments may limited by your BIOS or operating system.
PCIe-8560 PXI-8565 User’s Manual The following list are some indications that may help customers to deal with compatibility issues: 1. Disable the onboard device functions of your host PC to release IO resources. 2. Remove PCI devices plugged/installed in your host PC. 3. Connect an extension chassis which is single bus segment to the host PC. Plug a PCI device to an extension chassis one by one and boot each in sequence to check if your host PC can accommodate the PCI device or not. 4.
