  Models Available

The Datapath Express9 backplane provides 9 PCI Express slots and can be used with a standard PICMG 1.3 SBC as a stand alone system or with the Datapath S-Link and H-Link cards to provide a PCIe expansion system for standard PC.

S-Link and H-Link cards

The S-Link can be used instead of a PICMG 1.3 SBC to configure the Express9 as an expansion backplane from a standard PC or from other Express9 backplanes by connecting to a H-Link card.

Connecting the Express9 backplane to a host

Note: The host PC requires a PCI Express x 8 or x 16 lane (physical) slot for installing the H-Link card.
