### 4. Functionality

The ACL‑PCIEXT‑10 functions as the physical communication link between the host computer’s PCI bus and the external PCI expansion chassis in ADLINK’s PCIS‑8580 system. It transmits serialized PCI signals over a high‑speed StarFabric link, maintaining full PCI bandwidth and data integrity across distances up to 10 meters.

Operational Principle:
1. The host system contains an LPCI‑8575 PCI‑to‑StarFabric bridge card that converts parallel PCI signals into serial StarFabric frames.
2. These serialized signals are transmitted through the ACL‑PCIEXT‑10 cable using LVDS differential pairs.
3. The extension chassis (RK‑8005 or RK‑8014) receives the signals via its pre‑installed PCI bridge card, deserializes them, and reconstructs the PCI bus for the remote slots.
4. The result is a fully transparent PCI extension—devices in the remote chassis appear to the host as locally installed PCI cards.

Typical Use Cases:
- Extending PCI slots for systems with limited internal expansion capacity.
- Isolating sensitive host systems from electrically noisy or harsh environments.
- Remote test and measurement setups where instrumentation must be located away from the control PC.
- Industrial automation and manufacturing test systems requiring distributed PCI resources.
- Military and aerospace applications needing ruggedized, shielded interconnects.

Compatibility:
- Works exclusively with ADLINK’s PCIS‑8580‑series extension systems.
- Compatible with both 4‑slot (RK‑8005) and 13‑slot (RK‑8014) chassis configurations.
- Interoperable with optional shorter cables (ACL‑PCIEXT‑2, ACL‑PCIEXT‑5).

### 6. Installation & Setup

Requirements:
- Host computer with an available PCI slot for the LPCI‑8575 extension card.
- ADLINK extension chassis (RK‑8005 or RK‑8014) with pre‑installed PCI bridge card.
- Proper grounding and ESD protection during installation.

Installation Steps:
1. Power off both the host computer and the extension chassis.
2. Install the LPCI‑8575 card into an available PCI slot in the host system.
3. Connect one end of the ACL‑PCIEXT‑10 cable to the DVI‑D connector on the LPCI‑8575 card.
4. Connect the other end to the DVI‑D port on the extension chassis.
5. Secure both connectors using the locking screws to prevent accidental disconnection.
6. Power on the extension chassis first, then the host computer.
7. The system automatically recognizes the extended PCI bus—no driver installation required.

Mounting & Routing Considerations:
- Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable; maintain a minimum bend radius of 10 × cable diameter.
- Route the cable away from high‑voltage or high‑frequency sources to minimize EMI.
- Ensure connectors are fully seated and secured before powering on.

Configuration:
- The extension operates transparently; no BIOS or OS configuration is necessary.
- The host system enumerates devices in the extension chassis as standard PCI devices.
