13 Slot PCI Expansion - RAS

The Magma P13RR-RAS provides a simple solution for expanding the PCI expansion capability of your computer or server. The expansion chassis contains thirteen PCI slots that connect to the host computer through a host card and 1-meter expansion cable.

Magma P13RR-RAS is a rugged COTS (Commercial-Off-The-Shelf) expansion system designed specifically for industrial telephony and military-grade configurations requiring additional PCI slots and remote monitoring capability. The expansion system is designed to fit conveniently into any rack cabinet and the included card hold down system keeps your cards securely in place.

Remote Monitoring
In addition to the ruggedized chassis, hot-swappable redundant power supply, and field-replaceable high volume fans, the P13RR-RAS also monitors critical components inside the chassis. The SNMP remote monitoring system adds the ability to remotely monitor the status of the P13RR-RAS through a build-in web server and ethernet connection. SNMP monitors the power supply, fans, and chassis temperature, alerting you of any problems by sounding an audible alarm.

Cost-Effective Migration and Increased I/O Capacity
The Magma PCI Expansion solution provides a migration path to expand your available number of PCI slots while maintaining a consistent PCI configuration. Magma products provide increased I/O capacity and scalability because multiple expansion systems can be combined to provide an almost unlimited number of PCI slots* to a single computer. This type of scalability is especially useful in industries such as telecom, data acquisition, video monitoring, server storage, and manufacturing test fixtures.

*As defined by the PCI Local Bus Specification, the theoretical maximum per single computer is 255 PCI buses.

Easy Installation
The Magma PCI host card relays signals from the PCI slot inside the computer motherboard to a PCI bridge chip inside the expansion chassis. The system is automatically configured by the system BIOS and all thirteen PCI slots within the expansion chassis appear transparent to the host computer.

Host cards are available for the following systems: Desktop/Server: 32-Bit PCI or x1 PCI Express.
