Chapter 1 Introduction
ExpressBox 3T provides an 'outside-the-box' solution for using PCIe® cards with
Thunderbolt-equipped computers. High-performance work flows are possible by
connecting a Thunderbolt equipped computer to a Magma ExpressBox 3T containing
PCIe cards such as video capture, media transcoding, audio processing, and fast data
storage. And because Thunderbolt is also based on DisplayPort technology, you can
daisy chain a high-resolution display with your Magma ExpressBox 3T. Thunderbolt
cable is sold separately.
PCI Express Features
•
Supports three full-length cards
•
This chassis includes a PCI Express Gen 2 switch. Any two x4 ports, can merge
to form an 8-lane port. Therefore, the x8 connector is used twice which allows
slot 3 to be 8-lanes or slot 3 to be 4-lanes and slot 4 to be 4-lanes.
•
The total PCIe lanes for all 3 slots is 16 lanes. Combinations can be:

X8, x8
