MODEL TYPES
The XP-SG Series comes in two versions:
• XP-2SG with two expansion slots for 3.3v or Universal PCI cards
• XP-3SG with three expansion slots for 5.0v or Universal PCI cards
FEATURES & BENEFITS
Both types of XP-SG Series expansion chassis use the SG2010 bridge chip to con-
vert a conventional parallel 32-bit or 64-bit PCI bus operating at up to 66 MHz into
dual high-speed serial links compliant with the StarFabric protocol. The two serial
links operate separately for redundant fabric applications or as bundled links for
higher speed operation up to 5.0 Gbps.
The two-slot chassis supports 3.3v or Universal cards running at 3.3v on a 66 MHz
bus. The three-slot chassis supports 5.0v or Universal cards running at 5.0v on a
33 MHz bus.
The XP-SG Series works with Windows, Linux, and Solaris x86 operating systems.
