1 Overview
1.1 Description
The PCIe x4 expansion kit is used to extend the PCI express bus from a host server to an external expansion chassis. The host adapter card
inserts into a PCIe slot of the server. It then cables to a downstream expansion link board (ELB). The ELB acts as a downstream cable link board
and the primary fan-out switch to support multiple configurations of PCI express expansion slots. The host adapter installs into a PCIe x4, x8 or
x16 slot on the host motherboard. It then cables to the expansion link board and installs in the SHB or system slot of a CPCIe backplane.
