The ExpressBox 16 Basic EB16-BX8 Expansion Box (x8 PCIe Card, Redundant PS) from Magma expands one PCIe slot to sixteen high-speed slots in a 4U rack mount enclosure. A super-fast x8 (40 Gbps) PCIe connection to the host computer server helps eliminate workflow bottlenecks when you require more I/O capacity and you need it to be fast. It expands one host PCIe slot to sixteen slots by extending PCIe signals over a high-bandwidth x8 connection to an external Magma enclosure.
The ExpressBox 16 Basic Expansion System consists of an x8 interface card, an iPass cable and a 4U rack mount expansion chassis. The expansion chassis is automatically configured by the system BIOS with the expansion slots appearing transparently on the host computer.Enables transparent extension of PCIe signals outside the computer
