The ExpressBox 2200 Gen 2 PCIe-to-PCIe Expansion Chassis from Magma is a rack-mountable 2RU aluminum case that has three PCI Express 2.0 slots and two 5.25" bays, which connects through PCIe Gen 2 to your workstation or desktop computer. The expansion slots can accept any combination of x1, x4, x8, and x16 PCIe cards. It even provides enough space to hold full length and height graphics cards that add graphics power to your computer. The two 5.25" bays can support optical drives but requires a controller card installed into one of the PCI slots. To power the devices inside the chassis, a 520-watt fanless power supply is built-in that has Molex and PCIe connectors.
ExpressBox 2200 is compatible with Mac, Windows, Linux, and Solaris systems. Magma includes a host card with iPass cable for installing into the computer you want to use with this chassis. This connection offers data transfer speeds up to 40 Gbps and can be daisy-chained by installing a second optional host card into the chassis. Access within the chassis is done without the need for tools. It also has an integrated adjustable speed 80mm fan that provides quiet cooling for the devices. Included are a power cable and a rack-mount kit for the ExpressBox 2200.
