| 13 Slot PCI to PCI Expansion System
Add Thirteen 32-bit/33Mhz PCI Slots to your Server or Desktop Computer
When you need more PCI slots to increase the functionality of your desktop computer or server configuration, there's no reason to bust your budget for an expensive high-end multiple PCI slot computer or server. Instead, our 13 Slot 32-bit/33MHz PCI-to-PCI Expansion Systems can provide all the slots you need to expand your current configuration.
Add PCI Cards
Thirteen 32-bit/33MHz (32/33) PCI slots increase the functionality and I/O of your desktop computer or server, and enable PCI-based applications in various fields.
The Lifeline
MAGMA's patented PCI Expansion Technology is incorporated into a short 'universal' PCI card, extending the PCI Bus outside of your host computer. Our 1 to 1.5 meter flexible cable provides a high-speed communication link from your computer or server to our PCI Expansion System.
Power Supply
An adequate 400 Watt AC power supply is included with the expansion system.
Stay Cool
Two fan provides optimal cooling to your cards and disk drives within the ventilated enclosure.
Save Your Work
Optional drive bays are available to accommodate up to four internal 3.5" disk drives.
Unique Applications Require Innovative Solutions
Sure, many users are satisfied with the limited number of PCI slots that are available in most computers. However, there are numerous performance and functionality hungry professionals, like you, in many industries that simply need more PCI slots than a typical computer provides. Even with the introduction of more robust desktop computers and servers, the need for increased functionality of high-bandwidth applications has still not been satisfied. If you have a powerful application that requires the use of several PCI cards, increase the number of PCI slots in your system with a MAGMA PCI Expansion System.
MAGMA's patented 13 Slot, 32-bit/33MHz PCI-to-PCI Expansion Systems provide thirteen 32-bit/33MHz PCI slots in a separate rack-mount enclosure (chassis) that connects to a host desktop or server through an available PCI slot. Utilizing patented PCI expansion technology, everything installed in the enclosure actually acts as if it's inside the host computer. This is accomplished by the chassis communicating to the host via a 1 or 1.5 meter cable and a short 'universal' PCI host card providing up to a 132MB/second data transfer rate between the host computer and the hardware within the chassis.
Additional Features:
- Easy installation... install the MAGMA PCI host
interface card into any available slot in your desktop computer or server,
connect the cable, add your PCI cards and power up. No driver is required.
- Includes brackets to mount SCSI or IDE disk drives
inside the chassis, eliminating the need for an external storage enclosure.
- Can be used with a notebook computer when a CardBus
interface card (CBHIF) is purchased separately.
- Available in rack-mount or cost-effective tower
enclosure.
- Non-Enclosed Board Sets are available for OEMs and System Integrators.
Common Applications:
- Medical Imaging
- Camera Interface
- Video Processing
- Military
- Aerospace
- Field Test & Service
- Industrial Automation/Control
- Multiple Monitor Workstation
- Test & Measurement
- Audio Editing
- Video Processing
- Video Capture
- Video Effects
Benefits:
- Cost effectively add PCI slots to your desktop
computer or server
- Our 'universal' PCI host interface card works in host
computers that use either 5 volt or 3.3 volt signaling
- Reduce capital outlay for computers that only provide
one or two PCI slots
- Multiple expansion systems can be used in a daisy-chain or fan-out configuration
