Remote PC PCIe Host Desktop Adapters for PXIe and
AXIe Systems
– M9048A PCIe desktop PC adapter: x8, Gen 2
– M9048B PCIe Host Adapter: x8, Gen 3
– M9049A PCIe Host Adapter: dual x8 or x16, Gen 3
Product description
The host desktop adapter cards plug into your remote computer‘s PCIe slot to provide a
high performance link between the computer and a PXIe or AXIe chassis. The M9048A/B
and M9049A host adapters include a PCIe switch and clock isolation for a high-quality
clock source driven down the PCIe cable to the PXIe or AXIe chassis. This provides
a consistent Gen 2 or Gen 3 link independent of the remote computer. The cards are
compatible with desktop or rackmount computers with either x8 or x16 PCIe expansion
slots. Use the Y1202A or Y1203A cables to connect the host adapter cards to any PXIe
chassis or AXIe chassis. Refer to the example configuration section for details.
For a single x8 connection, choose from the standard performance M9048A and
mid-performance M9048B host adapter cards. A high performance x16 connection to
a chassis can be achieved using the M9049A which is equipped with dual PCIe x8 cable
connectors. The M9049A’s dual x8 connections can also be used to connect two chassis
to an external PC.
Refer to the example configuration section for details.
