2 Introduction
ECS-8582-4S ADLINK Technology, Inc.
User’s Manual Copyright 2008
The ECS-8582-4S implements a ExpressCard-based control of
PCI modules. The technology consists of a EC-8560 card installed
in the laptop computer, a shielded cable, and the extension sys-
tem. The EC-8560 comes in a ExpressCard/34 footprint and com-
municates with the extension system's low-profile PCI-8565 via a
twisted and shielded cable. The PCI-8565 converts the PCI
Express interface into a PCI bridge for additional PCI slots in the
extension system.
The link between host PC and the external chassis is a PCI
Express X1 link that represents a dual-simplex communications
channel consisting of two, low-voltage differentially driven signal
pairs. The signaling rate can reach up to 2.5 Gbps in each direc-
tion. Using the shielded and twisted cable, the maximum exten-
sion distance can be up to 7m without decreasing the signal rate.
