PCI-AD-X16HE-PS-MD High Level Specification
The PCI-AD-X16HE-PS-MD is a low profile, half-length PCIe adapter that can be configured as a Transparent Host Adapter card or a
Target adapter card. Once installed in any server’s or PC’s PCI Express compliant slot, a PCI-AD-X16HE-PS-MD can connect to
another PCI-AD-X16HE-PS-MD configured for Transparent Target operation or any target device compliant to the PCI Express
External Cabling Specification 3.0. The PCI-AD-X16HE-PS-MD configured as a Transparent Target card can be installed in a PCI
Express compliant expansion upstream slot. Please contact Serial Cables for a list of compliant expansion chassis. The PCI-AD-
X16HE-PS-MD supports PCIe Gen1, Gen2 and Gen3 speeds and x1, x2, x4, x8 and x16 link-widths. The card will operate at the
highest common speed shared between the slot and the card (Gen3) and the widest common link-width (x16).
