IPC-X13

For systems that require more than 7 PCI slots we recommend using the IPC-X13 chassis. This is a general purpose chassis which expands the PCI bus from either the IPC 1 or any standard PC which has a spare PCI slot. The IPC-X13 is supplied with a PCI plug-in card which is installed into the PC requiring expansion. A special 1M cable is then connected between the PC and the IPC-X13. The IPC-X13 has 13 free PCI slots.

By combining the IPC 1 controller with the IPC-X13 a total of 19 PCI slots are available.

   
IPC-X13 Specification
  • 19" Industrial metal chassis
  • Dimensions (approx) Length 500mm, Height 177mm, Width 482mm
  • 350 + 350 watt RPSU
  • 13 free full length PCI slots
  • 2 dedicated cooling fans for plug-in cards
  • PCI card for expanding system PCI bus
  • 1M expansion cable

IPC-X13S

The IPC-X13S provides the same expansion features as the IPC-X13 but with increased airflow for cooling and a larger Redundant PSU. (1350 watt)

The following table shows the maximum recommended number of graphics cards for the IPC-X13 and IPC-X13S chassis, allowing for power and cooling requirements:

IPC-X16 Expansion Chassis


The IPC-X16 expands the number of available PCI slots from a PC motherboard and is supplied with host PCI express adapter card and 0.75M cable which is used to attach the Express 16 back plane to the PC motherboard.  The Express 16 also contains a switched fabric which effectively provides each of the 16 PCI slots its own dedicated PCI bus.  This allows concurrent bus transactions to take place from slot to slot or slot to host without overhead.

Expands the number of PCI slots available from a PC motherboard.

Provides 8 x 64bit x 66 Mhz PCI-X slots and 8 x 32bit x 66Mhz PCI slots.

All 16 expansion slots are connected to an on board switched fabric providing a total of 20Gb/s bandwidth.

Up to 8 concurrent bus transactions.

Includes a PCI express host expansion card (x8 lanes) and 0.75M interface cable providing a 20Gb/s host interface.

IPC-X16 Specification:

  • 19" 6U industrial chassis.
  • 1350watt Redundant PSU.
  • 8 x PCI-X 66Mhz 64bit slots.
  • 8 x PCI 66Mhz 32bit slots
  • Dimensions (approx) Length 540mm, Height 265mm, Width 482mm.
  • 3 x High flow rate cooling fans.
  • 4 x Overhead extraction fans.
