Chapter Outline This manual is designed to help the user to understand and configure the PCI/PXI-8570. It is divided into three chapters: Chapter 1 Introduction Gives an overview of the product features, applications, and specifications. Chapter 2 Installation Describes how to install the PCI/PXI-8570, its jumper settings, and cabling for PCI/PXI-8570 extension module. Chapter 3 Hardware Overview Describes the basic architecture of the PCI/PXI extension module and its bus architecture.
1 Introduction The ADLINK PCI/PXI-8570 is a PCI to PXI or PXI to PXI extension module that functions as a transparent PCI-PCI bridge register set. With coupling master and slave extension modules, users will have direct control of PXI/CompactPCI chassis from another PC or multi-chassis PXI/CompactPCI systems. All devices on this system appear as local devices in a single PCI system. One master extension card (PCI-8570 or PXI-8570) can expand up to 2 slave extension modules (PXI-8570) at the same time.
1.1 Features The PCI/PXI-8570, PCI to PCI and PXI to PXI Extension Card, provides the following advanced features: • Direct PC control of PXI/CompactPCI systems • • Multi-chassis configurations for PXI/CompactPCI Up to 2 PCI segments from signal 8570 • PCI local bus specifications Rev. 2.2 compliant • PCI to PCI bridge architecture specifications Rev. 1.1 compliant • PXI specifications Rev. 2.
• PXI specifications Rev. 2.0 compliant • 64-bit, 66MHz PCI bus extension • Maximum data throughput o 132Mbytes/s (32-bit, 33MHz PCI) o 528Mbytes/s (64-bit, 66MHz PCI) Certificates • EMC/EMI: CE, FCC Class A General Specifications • I/O Connector: RJ-45 connector x 4 • Maximum cable length: 10m • Operating temperature: 0 to 55ºC • Storage temperature: -20 to 80ºC • Relative humidity: 10 to 90%, non-condensing • Power requirements Device PCI-8570 PXI-8570 • +5V 190mA - +3.
2 Installation This chapter outlines the contents of package, describes unpacking information, and describes how to install the PCI/PXI-8570 software and hardware. 2.1 Contents of Package The package includes the following items: • • • PCI-8570 or PXI-8570 ADLINK All-in-one Compact Disc (PXI-8570 only) This User’s Manual If any of these items are missing or damaged, contact your ADLINK dealer. Save the shipping materials and carton in to ship or store the product in the future. 2.
Note: DO NOT APPLY POWER TO THE CARD IF IT HAS BEEN DAMAGED. 2.3 Getting Started To set up and use the PCI bus extension module, you need the following: • A PCI-8570 card and a PXI-8570 module or two PXI-8570 modules • Two RJ-45 Copper cables (ADLINK provides three different lengths of shielded copper cable to eliminate the EMI issues: ACL-PXIES-2, ACL-PXIES-5, and ACL-PXIES-10.

When the hardware installation process is complete, reboot the computer for the changes to take effect. 2.5 Hardware Installation 2.5.1 Jumper Setting (only for PXI-8570) Spread Spectrum Jumper Setting When PXI-8570 plugged into the system slot, it provides a discrete clock signal to each of the peripheral slot defined as a PCI clock (CLK0, CLK1, CLK2, CLK3, CLK4, CLK5, and CLK6).
utilize the following configuration to set the operation frequency of your system. 1 JP2 Setting 2 66 MHz PCI enable. If the backplane or any devices in the system do not support 66MHz PCI bus operations, PCI/PXI-8570 will detect the configuration and operate at 33 MHz automatically. 3 (default) 66MHz PCI disable. PCI bus is forced to operate at 33 MHz. 1 2 3 Figure 2.
your chassis. For use in primary PXI bus – Choose any unused PXI or CompactPCI peripheral slot except slot 1 (Slot 1 is reserved for the system controller.) Remove any covers blocking access to the slot in which you intend to install PXI-8570. Make sure the injector/ejector handle is in its downward position. Hold the handle as you slide the module into the chassis until the handle catches on the injector/ejector rail.
• If you turn on the system with primary extension module first and then secondary extension module, the indicated LED of both modules will keep twinkling. • If the communication between primary and secondary extension modules is broken, the indicated LED of primary moudle is bright and the LED of secondary module is dark. • If Star or Daisy-chain configurations are implemented, please always turn on the secondary system first.

3 Hardware Overview This chapter describes the basic architecture of the PCI extension module and its bus architecture. 3.1 Basic Architecture of PCI Extension Module The PCI/PXI-8570 extension module is basically a PCI-to-PCI bridge. The PCI-to-PCI bridge function in the PCI/PXI-8570 supports legacy address routed traffic, which provides 100% capability with PCI drivers, application software, BIOS, O/Ss, etc. These functions allow users to transfer their designs without extra effort.
