Connect to Extension Chassis
Your host computer and the extension 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 connect
your host computer and the extension chassis.

PCIS-8580-4S as an example)
Power-on Sequence
To make the PCI-to-PCI extension system works well, you need to
follow a correct power-on sequence for both extension chassis
and host computer. The LINK indicators (a green LED) on the
front-panel of the extension chassis and LPCI-8575 indicate the
status of serial link between the extension 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 extension chassis.
3. Turn on the host computer. At this time you’ll see the
LINK indicators on both sides are on.
