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.
