Magma Sixteen Slot PCI Express Expansion System
Magma's ExpressBox 16 is the simplest solution to seamlessly increase the number of PCI Express® slots available to your server or workstation. ExpressBox 16 expands one host PCIe® slot to sixteen slots by extending PCI Express signals over a high-bandwidth x8 or x16 connection to an external Magma enclosure.
ExpressBox 16 consists of a pair of interface cards (x8 or x16), an iPass cable and a 4U rack-mount expansion chassis. The Magma expansion chassis is automatically configured by the System BIOS, with the expansion slots appearing transparently on the host computer.
Benefits:- Industrial solution for adding up to sixteen PCI Express slots to one computer
- Attach full-length PCI Express cards computers with limited card space
- Daisy chain or fan out multiple expansion chassis to one computer
- Low profile host card allows for easy installation in low profile computers
- Easy "Plug and Play" installation
- Supports peer-to-peer transfers between cards in the expansion chassis to provide full bandwidth potential among I/O cards
- LEDs on backplane indicate: active link, speed (Gen 1 or Gen 2), partial or complete lane training
- Industrial 4U rack-mount enclosure
- Four dedicated cooling fans with thermistor-controlled fan speeds to reduce unnecessary noise
- Multiple power supply options with auxiliary power connectors to support cards requiring more than 75 Watts

Magma ExpressBox 16 Smart
ExpressBox 16 Smart expands one host PCIe® slot to sixteen slots by extending PCI Express signals over a high-bandwidth x8 or x16 connection to an external Magma enclosure. When combined with Magma's software utility, Express I/O Manager, technology managers have the flexibility to partition slots inside the expansion chassis to up to four separate servers. Express I/O Manager also provides access to monitor the most critical components like power temperature, fans and PCI Express links through an Ethernet connection. The software tool can be integrated with any SNMP agent in the IT network.
Smart, Manageable, Multi-Host Expansion
PCI Express connectivity has matured well beyond the early days of PCI into a fully capable "outside the box" high-speed interconnect for the most demanding mission critical applications in HPC and IT infrastructures. As cloud computing and remote services become standard, offering a flexible, manageable, and cost effective expansion solution is demanded for high-speed Ethernet, HBAs, Fibre Channel SAN controllers, GPUs, video accelerators, and more.
Expansion Partitioning Between Multiple Servers
A unique feature of the ExpressBox 16 Smart allows the PCIe expansion slots to be partitioned between 4 different servers. Using the Express I/O Manager, 3 different partitioning configurations can be selected. In the default configuration, all 16 expansion slots are accessed by one host computer. Configurations 2 and 3 provide up to 3 expansion cards per server at x16 speeds, and up to seven expansion cards for a fourth server at x8 speeds. A separate host adapter is required for each server. ExpressBox 16 Smart consists of a pair of interface cards (x8 or x16), an iPass cable and a 4U rack-mount expansion chassis. The Magma expansion chassis is automatically configured by the System BIOS, with the expansion slots appearing transparently on the host computer.Benefits:
- Add (16) slots through a single host slot
- x8 or x16 interconnect options - speeds up to 80Gbps
- Partition expansion slots among four individual servers
- Offers flexibility in configuration and allocation of scarce or expensive I/O resources

- Add any combinations of x1, x4, x8 and x16 PCIe cards
Features:
- 850W, 1700W or 850W redundant power supply
- Remote monitoring with SNMP and Web Interface
- Express I/O Manager provides an enhancement to existing SNMP protocol
- Notifications of failures by SNMP trap, audible alarm, and email
- Low profile PCIe host card can be installed in any server
