Introduction The XPRS-cPCIe connects with one of our XRPS-HOST-.. cards, and allows using of a Compact PCI Express (cPCIe), or a PXI Express (PXIe) peripheral card outside of a computer system. The image shows XPRS-cPCIe product, and one PXI Express peripheral card. ## 2. Preliminary step Based on the computer system one preliminary step is installing of a XPRS-HOST-.. card: - xprs-host-dt on a PCI Express desktop system - or, xprs-host-ec on a notebook system with an ExpressCard slot We are offering a low cost ExpressCard based notebook system to help with upgrading. Order XPRS-cPCIe ## 3. Assembly of XPRS-cPCIe Mount the XPRS-cPCIe on the 2 connectors of the cPCIe or PXIe card. There are 2 ways to connect the 2 cables to the connectors on XPRS-cPCIe. Make sure that the XPRS-HOST-.. card is inserted, and the host computer system is powered on. If the onboard LED is not lit, the LED is not on, the cables are connected in the wrong way. In such case remove both cables, switch positions, and plug to the other connectors. The image above shows the right way - the onboard LED is lit, the LED is on. The cPCIe / PXIe interface requires either 3.3V only, or 3.3V and 12V to be supplied for the cPCIe / PXIe card. The image above shows both 3.3V and 12V power supplied to XPRS-cPCIe for the cPCIe / PXIe card. Normally cPCIe / PXIe cards are used on a special chassis, however together with XPRS-cPCIe can be used on standard desktop and notebook systems. Order XPRS-cPCIe ## 4. Insert / remove of peripheral cards When the host system is a notebook, and the operating system supports ExpressCard slots, you can dynamically insert/remove cPCIe / PXIe card together with XPRS-cPCIe. [ Click to enlarge] When the host system is a desktop, or the operating system does not support hot insert/ remove of PCI Express based peripherals you need to: - power off host system - mount XPRS-HOST-.. in the system - connect cables to XPRS-cPCIe - in the proper way - mount on cPCIe / PXIe card - power on host system ARSTech Enumerator provides indication of events, and additional software support for hot insert/ remove. ## 5. Use of a cPCIe / PXIe card The specific peripheral card used in this article is a PXIe DAQ card from National Instruments. This card is handled in the 'Measurement & Automation explorer' software - listed under used 'Devices and Interfaces'. The self test for the card passes successfully.
