Introduction

The ADLINK PCI-8570 and PXI-8570 expand the capabilities of PCI by providing high level of scalability and reliability to PCI based system. Using StarGen’s StarFabric technology, the system extension sets provide a low latency, high throughput path to PCI slots in an expansion chassis. In addition, the single PCI- 8570 (or PXI-8570) could extend to 2 PCI segments, resulting in controlling 2 PXI/CompactPCI chassis with a single controller at lower cost.
